Chapter 4: Using the Chart 49
4.3 Viewing the chart
You will normally view your chart with the vessel on screen and motion mode ‘active’.
When motion mode is active, as your vessel moves, the chart is redrawn to keep the
vessel on screen. When you zoom the chart in active mode, the chart zooms about your
vessel position.
Alternatively, you may be planning a journey and do not want the chart to redraw as
your vessel moves. You can suspend the active motion mode by using the cursor to pan
the chart (see
page 50
) or by selecting FIND CURSOR.
When motion mode is suspended, the mode is shown in the status bar in parenthesis
e.g. (RELATIVE MOTION); zoom operates about your cursor position.
Provided the necessary data to ascertain your vessel’s position is available, you can
activate the motion mode, by selecting FIND SHIP.
