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.
Zooming:
Press the Plus (+) key to Zoom In and the Minus (–) key to Zoom Out
to see the cartography at different magnification levels. The zoom level is
indicated on the left side of the display. If you zoom in beyond the available chart
data, the display will go into Overzoom mode whereby the last available chart
data is amplified to reflect the level selected. If you zoom in so far that no
cartography is available, a lat/long grid will be drawn instead. Zooming is also
influenced by the Auto Zoom and Auto Range settings. See
Chart Menu Tab:
Auto Zoom
and
Auto Range
for more information.
Decluttered Waypoints:
When two or more waypoints overlap, or are displayed
close together on a chart view, the screen will automatically declutter—
waypoint names will shorten and the waypoint icons will change into small
blue icons.
To view a Decluttered Waypoint at full size, use the 4-WAY Cursor Control key to
move the cursor onto a decluttered waypoint icon. When the cursor snaps onto
the icon, the full-size waypoint name and icon will be displayed. You can also
press the + ZOOM key until you can see the individual waypoints on the screen.
