Keep your vessel in view on the chart screen
You can use this to keep your vessel in view on the
Chart
screen.
If Show Vessel is On, the

continues to pan to keep your vessel at the center if in Center mode or offset if in
Look Ahead mode (See Page 53). On is the default.

button automatically toggles Off. Just press the

What is the chart guard zone?
The chart guard zone can help identify hazards that are marked on the chart.
The chart guard zone is different from the radar guard zone. Use them both to
help ensure the safety of your vessel.
When the chart guard zone is On, two red lines are drawn on the
Chart
screen.
These start at your vessel and diverge out in the direction that you're traveling.
After a defined distance, they are joined together by another line to form a
triangular area that extends in front of your vessel. This triangular area is the chart
guard zone.
