6.2 Vessel position and orientation
Vessel position on the chart display
Your current position is represented on screen by the vessel symbol.
The symbol used for your vessel will vary depending on the vessel
type selected during initial set up of your multifunction display.
Motor Vessels
Sail Vessels
Small Vessel
The vessel symbol will change to
a black dot when your vessel is
stationary and no heading data is
available.
Note: If positional data has been selected for display, your
position will be displayed in the databar under Ves Pos.
Chart orientation
The orientation of a chart refers to the relationship between the
chart and the direction that you are travelling in.
It is used in conjunction with motion mode to control how your
vessel and chart relate to one another and how they are displayed
on screen.
The mode you choose applies to the active chart instance, and is
restored at power up.
The following options are available:
North–Up
D 12300-1
N
In North Up mode, the chart orientation is fixed with true north
upwards. As your heading changes the vessel symbol moves
accordingly. This is the default mode for the chart application.
Head-Up
D 12298-1
Head Up mode displays the chart with your vessel’s current heading
upwards. As the heading changes the vessel symbol remains fixed
and the chart picture rotates accordingly.
