Cartographic Area and Spot Soundings are not shown.
Screen Amplifier : In Home mode the Screen Amplifier (Look Ahead) function sets up the charts on the navigation
direction (course) in order to display more map details in front of the vessel’s position.
Course Line : Selects the value among Off/2/10/30 Min/1/2 hours/Infinite.The Course Line is a graphical
indication of the direction in which the Vessel is heading. The Course Line origin is the vessel’s
position so the time line movement is synchronized with the vessels Icon. Course Line "course"
is given by the value of COG (Course Over Ground) and its length is proportional to the SOG
(Speed Over Ground).
Ship Icon Mode : Sets the Ship Icon Mode between Steady or Blinking. When Ship Icon Mode is Blinking, the ship
icon (and the heading line) blinks every 1 second, otherwise when it is Steady the Ship Icon (and
the heading line) does not blink.

plotter so that the chart plotter converts the position received from the GPS to the Map Datum
currently selected in the menu in order to match the position from the GPS with the position on
the charts. You must know what datum reference is used by the GPS and set it in the Fix Datum option.
External WPT : The coordinates of a Waypoint, received from a GPS connected to the chart plotter, can be

a Waypoint or a Mark onto that symbol. As soon as the chart plotter receives another $BWC
