2.1.3 Highway display
The highway display, shown in combination displays, provides a graphic
presentation of ship’s track along intended course. It is useful for monitoring
ship’s progress toward a waypoint. The own ship marker shows relation between
ship and intended course. The XTE monitor shows the direction and amount
your vessel is off course – the arrow shows the direction to steer to return to
your course and the numeric the distance you are off course. Using the figure
below as an example, you would steer right 0.009 nm to return to course. To
maintain course, steer the vessel so the own ship marker stays aligned with the
intended course line.
