Trackpad and Cursor
On the primary chart display, the trackpad is used to move the cursor
horizontally, vertically or diagonally. The cursor is the cross-hair symbol
(+) which is used to select a position or item on the chart.
The longer the trackpad is pressed, the faster the cursor moves. The
current cursor position (in latitude and longitude) is shown in the status
bar at the top of the screen.
The cursor is context-sensitive. Some items on the screen, such as
waypoints and chart objects have information associated with them.
When the cursor is placed over such objects, this information is displayed
in the status bar. Some items may also have options or settings. If
available, these are displayed in a function bar at the bottom of the screen.
Note:
During many operations the cursor cannot be moved around the
screen (while a function bar is displayed, for example) and the cursor is
used exclusively for selection. In such cases, three rapid beeps indicate
invalid action.
