Map Page should now display fi ve waypoints chained together in a simple route, with your boat at
the fi rst route waypoint.
A data fi eld at the top of the page will now display the speed, distance to the second route
waypoint, your position coordinates and a compass ribbon which shows you which way to go. To get
started, let’s enter a speed for our vessel, which we can do from the Main Menu Page.
To enter a boat speed:
1. Press the

Once a speed has been entered, you’ll notice that the map will automatically begin to move slowly,
keeping your boat centered on the display. The direction of movement, also called ‘track’, will be
controlled by the simulator.
The Set Position, Track
Control, Track and Speed
fi elds will only show while
in simulator mode.
You can also Invert a
route to follow it in
reverse.
