TRACK

2.1 Stopping Track Recording

When your ship is at anchor or returning to port you probably will not need to record the track. You can stop recording the track, to conserve the track memory, by activating the “hold” function. The track is displayed but not recorded, thereby conserving the track memory.

Press the [PLOT INTVL] key to display HOLD. The indications “HOLD” and “H” appear on the display. The track is traced on the display but is not stored. To resume plotting press the key again. “HOLD” and “H” disappear.
