3. PLOTTER OPERATION

Reading the XTE (cross-track error) monitor

The XTE monitor, located below the compass rose, shows the amount you are off course and the direction to steer to return to course. The own ship marker shows the direction and amount your ship is off course. It is shown in black when the amount of cross-track error is within the XTE monitor range and yellow when it is over. An arrow appears at the right or left side of the XTE monitor and it shows the direction to steer to return to intended course. (For the color model the arrow is shown in red when you should steer left, and green when you should steer right.) In the example on the previous page you would steer right to return to course. To maintain course, steer the vessel so the own ship marker stays at the center of the XTE monitor.
