The smaller arrows pointing down on each side show the CDI’s range.The default is 1/10 mile. The small vertical bar shows the distance off course and represents the course line. If the bar moves to the right, then you are to the left

of the desired course line, and vice-versa.The CDI indicator shown above shows that we are about .02 miles to the left of the desired course. (With the CDI range of .10 miles, each vertical dotted line represents .02 mile.) You can adjust the CDI’s range through the “Alarms/CDI” menu.

Using the CDI with a mapping screen helps you visualize your position in relation to the course.The screen below left shows that we are on course. The CDI arrow is pointing straight ahead and no off-course bar is show- ing. Looking at the screen on the right, however, you can see that we are off course to the right. In fact, we are so far off course that we exceeded the range of the CDI. The vertical bar has gone off the scale on the left side of the CDI. A small arrow points to the left, showing the direction to the desired course line. The CDI gives you a quick, easy to read visual indicator of your relationship between your direction of travel and the de- sired direction.

Mapping

The AccuMap 12 has a ground map of the world built inside.This map has the majority of its detail in far southern Canada, the continental United States and Hawaiian islands, northern Mexico,

the Bahamas, and Bermuda. The background map shows when the AccuMap 12 is first turned on, with or without a map cartridge.

There are three different mapping screens available. Map screen number 3 shows by de- fault, as shown at right. Your current position displays at the center of the screen by a cross surrounded by a flashing diamond.
