TRACKER 5100/5100i/5500/5500i Installation and Operation Manual

NAVMAN

3-1-2 Latitude and longitude

Latitude and longitude can be displayed at the top of
the chart. Normally the position is the boat’s position,
and the latitude has a boat symbol to show this:

If the cursor has been moved in the last ten seconds,
then the position is the cursor’s position, and the
latitude has a cursor symbol to show this:

 Warning: When reading the boat position,

make sure the position is not the cursor position.

3-1-3 Chart scale

Press 

 to zoom in and display a smaller area of

the chart in more detail. Press   to zoom out and
display a bigger area in less detail.

The chart scale can be displayed (e.g. scale = 8 nm,
see below). The scale is the vertical distance across
the currently visible chart area. For example if the
scale is 8 nm then a portion of chart eight nautical
miles high is currently displayed.

3-1-4 The compass

A compass can be displayed at the top of the chart
(see section 3-1-8).

When the boat is navigating to a point, the compass
shows the bearing to the destination (BRG) in the
middle and the boat’s course over ground (COG),
for example here BRG is 4° and COG is 12°:

Otherwise the compass shows the boat’s COG in
the middle, for example here COG is 12°:
