Using the Cursor
The cursor allows you to pan away from your present position and scroll to
other map areas (even outside of your current G-chart coverage). As you pan past
the edge of the current map display, the screen will actively scroll forward to pro-
vide continuous map coverage.
To move the cursor:
1. Press the
R
keypad to move the cursor up, down, left or right.
As you move the cursor, the distance and bearing from your present position to
the cursor will be displayed in the data window, along with the cursor’s position
coordinates. Keep in mind that when the cursor is stationary, the distance and
bearing from your present position will change as your boat moves. The cursor
can also be used to ‘snap’ to on-screen waypoints and navaids, allowing you to
review a selected position directly from the map display.
To select an on-screen waypoint or navaid with the cursor:
1. Use the
R
keypad to move the cursor to the desired waypoint or navaid (if there are
several waypoints grouped closely together, zoom in closer for a better view).
2. When a waypoint or navaid is selected, it will become highlighted on-screen, with the
name and position displayed.
To eliminate the cursor and re-center your position on-screen:
1. Press the
Q
key.
The cursor can also be used to create new waypoints directly from the map.
