Using FIND SHIP
FIND SHIP
is used in chart mode to re-draw the chart with the vessel at the center
and the cursor homed onto the vessel.
When you press
FIND SHIP
the following occur:
• The chart is re-drawn with the vessel’s position in the center.
• The cursor is homed onto the vessel position and moves with it.
• When the vessel moves near the edge of the chart window, the chart is
redrawn to place the vessel and cursor at the center again.
• The status bar indicates vessel position, speed and course over ground.
➤
To release the cursor from homed mode press the trackpad to move the cursor
away from the vessel’s current position. The status bar shows the cursor
position, range and bearing.

Plotter mode is available to allow you to zoom into a smaller area, even when
no chart data is available for that scale.

mode on/off.
