2.3 Shifting the Display

The display can be shifted on the plotter display. Operate the cursor pad to place the cursor at an edge of the screen. The display shifts in the direction opposite to cursor pad operation.

2.4Centering Own Ship’s Position

When own ship tracks off the plotter display, the own ship mark is automatically returned to the screen center. You can also return it manually as follows:

1.Press the [MENU] key.

2.Choose “SHIP TO CENTER?”.

3.Press the [ENT] key.

2.5Changing Track Plotting Interval, Stopping Plotting

To trace the ship’s track, the ship’s position is stored into the memory at an interval of distance or according to display range. For distance, a shorter interval provides better reconstruction of the track, but the storage time of the track is reduced. When the track memory becomes full, the oldest track is erased to make room for the latest.

1.Press the [MENU] key once or twice to display the menu.

2.Choose PLOTTER.

3.Press the [ENT] key.
