10 HSB Series Chartplotter
Trackpad and Cursor
The trackpad and has several functions:
• To move the cursor around the chart screen
• To select an item from a pop-up menu or database list
• To adjust a variable soft key control
• To enter names in database lists
You can press on any of the four sections of the trackpad to move the
cursor in that direction (up, down, left or right), or press two sections at
the same time to move diagonally. The cursor moves faster as you
continue to press the trackpad. The current cursor position is shown in
the cursor data box (if selected).
Note: During many operations you cannot move the cursor around the
screen; if you cannot move the cursor using the trackpad, check the
default soft keys are displayed. If not, press ENTER until they are
displayed.
The cursor is normally displayed as a crosshair. However, if you have
not moved the cursor for more than five seconds, when you next move it
the cursor is outlined by a circle so it is easier to locate on the screen.
The cursor is used to:
• Select a position on the chart.
• Select and, if valid, move an item e.g. waypoint, on the chart.
• Pan the chart display.
Context-Sensitive Cursor Control
The cursor is context-sensitive. When the cursor is positioned over
special features on the chart display, a text label appears to identify the
feature, as follows:
Text Label Feature
A-B Ruler line
BOX Data box (any type)
