Orientation

The chart orientation is normally North Up, but can be changed to Course Up or Head Up. The orientation modes give the following displays:

•North Up: The chart is displayed with north upwards. This is the default mode and is the only mode available if there is no COG data.

•Course Up: The chart is rotated such that the currently selected course (bearing to the target waypoint) or, if no navigation function is taking place, the current COG value is shown upwards.

To update the Course Up reference whilst Course Up is the current mode, re- select COURSE UP from the set up menu.

If you select a new course, eg. a new target waypoint, the chart displays the new course upwards.

•Head Up: The chart is displayed with the vessel’s current COG upwards. As the heading changes the chart rotates periodically to maintain orientation.

Note: Head Up and Course Up modes are dependent upon a valid GPS fix.

Plotter mode

Plotter mode allows the user to zoom in beyond the level of cartography and continue to use plotter functions. The selected setting is retained when unit switched off.

Show waypoints

This option controls whether or not the waypoints are shown on the Chart display, with their appropriate symbols. The active waypoint, and waypoints in the current route, are always shown.

Waypoint symbol

This option allows selection of the symbol for waypoint display. The selected symbol is used for subsequent waypoints. Existing waypoints are not affected. The selected symbol is retained when the unit switched off.

Autozoom

When autozoom is enabled, commencing any navigation function or selecting FIND SHIP activates Autozoom. When active, this selects the chart range and position such that the vessel and the target waypoint are both on screen but at the largest scale possible. Moving the cursor off the vessel, or changing scale, deactivates Autozoom.
