You can move the cursor around the display by
pressing the arrow keys in the direction you want
it to move. This lets you view different areas of the
plotter, away from your present position. When it’s
turned on, the zoom-in and zoom-out keys work
from the cursor’s position - not the present posi-
tion, so you can zoom in on any detail, anywhere
while navigating. The latitude/longitude of the cur-
sor shows in the box at the top of the plot-1 screen
whenever the cursor is activated. The cursor is
also used to place and erase icons and waypoints.
Press the EXIT key to erase the cursor.
PLOTTER OPTIONS
The Eagle Expedition lets you customize the plot-
ter (including saving plotter trails) using the “Plot-
ter Options” menu. To use this menu, first press
the MENU key, then use the up or down arrow
keys to highlight the “Plotter Options” label. Fi-
nally, press the right arrow key. The screen shown
at right appears.
Plotter Orientation
Normally, the Eagle Expedition shows the plotter
with north always at the top of the screen. This is
the way most maps and charts are printed on
paper. This is fine if you’re always travelling due north. Waypoints you see
to your left corresponds to the left side of the plotter, to your right shows
on the right side of the plotter, and so on. However, if you travel any other
direction, the plotter doesn’t line up with your view of the world.
To correct this problem, the Eagle Expedition has a track-up mode that
rotates the plotter as you turn. Thus, what you see on the left side of the
screen should always be to your left, and so on. It also has a course-up
mode that keeps the plotter at the same orientation as your initial bearing
to the waypoint.
In the examples shown at the top of the next page, we're travelling south-
east (about 150° magnetic). In the north-up view, the present position
indicator appears to move towards the lower right corner of the screen.
The anchor icon shown on the right side of the screen is actually on our
left. North is always at the top center of this screen.
