3.2.2Course-up

The course-up mode is useful for monitoring ship’s progress towards a waypoint. The destination is at the top of the screen when a destination is set. When no destination is set, the course or heading is at the top of the screen at the moment the course-up mode is selected. A filled triangle marks own ship’s position.

Note: The data sentences GGA and VTG must be output from the NavNet unit connected to the GPS navigator in order to correctly orient the own ship marker in the course-up mode on other NavNet units.

The course is at the top of screen at the moment the auto course-up mode is selected. In this mode, the current course is kept at the top of the screen when the change is within 22.5 degrees. For example, if your vessel turns more than

22.5degrees to port or starboard, the chart display will rotate so that your course is pointing towards the top of the screen again. A filled triangle marks own ship’s position.
