View Orientation
Both
Chart
and
Combo
Views allow you to choose the orientation of the view
(see
Navigation Menu Tab: Chart Orientation
). In both orientations, the view
pans automatically so that the boat is always centered on the display.
•
North-Up:
True North is shown at the top of the display. Objects located
to the north of the boat are drawn above the boat.
•
Course-Up:
The direction of motion of the boat is shown at the top of the
display. Objects ahead of the boat are drawn above the boat.
When the boat is stationary, it is drawn as a circle.
When the boat is in motion, it takes on a boat shape, pointed in the
direction of motion (always up in the Course-Up orientation).
Viewing Cartography
In the Chart or Combo Views there are several cartography-related functions
that you can access using various keys.
Panning:
Use the 4-WAY Cursor Control
key to move the chart around on the
display in the direction of the key being
pressed. When you do this, a bull's eye
cursor is drawn at the center of the
screen and is linked to the boat by a gray
line, even if the boat is off the screen. At
the same time, the temperature and
speed boxes in the lower left corner are
replaced with the distance and bearing
from the boat to the cursor position and
the latitude/longitude coordinates of the
cursor.
