Magellan NAV 6000 21
Using the Cursor Key on the Map Screen
Press the CURSOR KEY to activate and move the cursor
on the Map screen.
The cursor is represented by a
+
.
The information window displays the bearing and distance
from the present position (boat) to the cursor location (+),
the coordinates of the cursor, COG and SOG.
While the cursor is active, press MAP/CTR to center the map
around the present position boat icon. Press MAP/CTR again
to re-center the display on the cursor.
If the boat and the cursor are shown on the screen, pressing
MAP/CTR first centers the map around the present position
and removes the cursor icon, though it remains active. Press-
ing CENTER again centers the map around the cursor and
the present position boat icon is continuously updated.
If the map is centered on the boat, pressing the
CURSOR KEY will activate the cursor. If the
cursor was already active somewhere else on the
map and is not shown on the screen, that cursor
position is lost.
The destination name is replaced with the word “cursor” and
the cursor coordinates (WGS84 only) are displayed on the
bottom line of the NAV window.
As you scroll across the map, the map will follow the cursor
movement when the cursor comes near the edge. The map
redraws with the cursor near the edge.
Map Orientation
The map orientation can be set to Track Up, Course Up and
North Up. When North Up is selected, the boat icon rotates
according to the COG direction with respect to north.
When Track Up is selected, the map turns to keep the boat
icon pointing upwards. The top of the screen is then always
the COG direction. The map rotates every time the COG
changes more than 10
°
.
When Course Up is selected,
the course will be displayed
in the upward direction and
the boat icon will rotate with
the COG.
In both Track Up and
Course Up modes, a north
arrow will be shown at the
top right corner pointing
northward.
When the boat nears the
edge of the screen, as posi-
tion changes, it re-centers.
