Range from own ship to destination

waypointAnalog XTE (Cross-track error) scale Arrow shifts with ship's XTE. When the arrow is aligned with intended course line own ship is on course. The arrow flashes if ship's XTE is greater than the XTE scale range. "N" (North) is displayed instead of the arrow when no destination is set.

Direction to steer (flashing)

Appears on left or right side depending on direction to steer; : Steer right, : Steer left.

Destination waypoint

"[+]" advances forward as own ship nears destination.
