Chapter 3: Using the Initial Soft Keys
3.1 Introduction
This chapter explains how to perform some basic chart operations using the
trackpad, and the soft keys. The initial soft key display is shown below.
ROUTE
GO TO
RULER
CENTER
D3352_1
Note: If you have set up your system so that the soft keys are not displayed all
the time (Help Level 0), press any soft key to display the labels.
This chapter covers the following topics:
• Setting up and using on-screen routes
• Using the
GO TO
key to navigate towards a selected point
• Measuring distances using the
RULER
key
Further basic functions, including track histories and placing marks and events,
are described in Chapter 4. More advanced operation, involving the stored lists,
is described in Chapter 5, including retrieving stored routes and making new
routes using stored waypoints.
Safety
The chartplotter makes it very easy to mark a waypoint and track towards it.
However, you should always check first that the route is safe. If you are using
the chartplotter in combination with a SeaTalk autopilot, the autopilot will
prompt for confirmation before it steers the vessel towards the waypoint.
If you have entered your route using a small-scale chart, zoom in to a larger
scale to check for hazards, such as small shoals, that may not be shown on the
smaller scale.
