Chart View Orientation
Both Chart and Combo Views allow you to choose the orientation of the view
(see
Navigation Menu Tab: Chart Orientation
). In each orientation, the view
pans automatically so that the boat is always centered on the display. To see
more of the view when the boat is traveling at the speed you set, see
Chart
Menu Tab: Vessel Offset
and
Offset Speed
.
•
North-Up:
True North is shown at the top of the display. Objects located
to the north of the boat are drawn above the boat.
•
Heading-Up:
The boat’s current heading points up, and the chart
rotates around the vessel so that the vessel always points up on the
view.
•
Course-Up:
During navigation, the projected course is shown at the top
of the view. Objects ahead of the boat are drawn above the boat. When
the boat is not navigating, the course-up reference is provided by the
COG (course over ground) calculation. Also, to display the north icon on
the view, see
Chart Menu Tab: North-Up Indicator.
When the boat is stationary, it is drawn as a circle.
When the boat is in motion, it takes on a boat shape,
pointed in the direction of motion (always up in the
Course-Up orientation).
