The
Map Page
provides a comprehensive display of electronic cartography,
plotting and navigational data. The
map display
shows your boat on a digital
chart, complete with geographic names, navaids, depth contours and other chart
features. It also plots your track and displays any routes and waypoints you create.
An on-screen cursor lets you pan and scroll to other map areas, determine the dis-
tance and bearing to a position, and perform various route and waypoint
functions.
The
data window
, located at the top of the page, provides a user-selectable dis-
play of your current course and speed over ground, along with the bearing and
distance to a destination waypoint. Whenever the cursor is active, an additional
data window will appear below to indicate the position, range and bearing to the
cursor or a selected waypoint or navaid. Each data field may be configured to dis-
play any one of thirteen data options. The data window can also be changed to
display additional data fields, a compass tape, or a CDI scale. The
status bar
at
the bottom of the page displays the map scale currently in use.
