3.3 Operating Controls
You operate the fishfinder and chart systems using a variety of controls:
• A trackpad providing up, down, left, right and diagonal control of an on
screen cursor
• Eleven dedicated (labeled) control keys
• Four soft keys with labels displayed on the screen
• Pop-up menus, displayed on-screen, from which you select options
• Database lists, displayed on-screen, which enable you to edit items
Note: The cursor is the cross-hair symbol (+) visible on the display. You move
the cursor using the trackpad and use it to select a position or item on the
chart.
The control keys are shown in Figure 3-5 . They are back-lit for night-time use
when the display brightness is dimmed. When you use a control, a help
message is displayed at the top of the screen (unless you switch help off as
described in
Chapter 4 ). The following paragraphs describe the controls and
on-screen facilities.
