Wind VMG and Waypoint VMG in the Data Bars

The chartplotter automatically switches between showing wind VMG and waypoint VMG in the data bars.

Waypoint VMG appears under the following conditions:

•The route leg section of the navigation data bar shows waypoint VMG when you are navigating a route or an Auto Guidance line.

•The sailing data bar shows waypoint VMG when you are navigating a route or an Auto Guidance line, and you turn the route leg section of the navigation data bar off.

Wind VMG appears under the following conditions:

•The sailing data bar shows wind VMG when you are not navigating a route or an Auto Guidance line.

•The sailing data bar shows wind VMG when the route leg section of the navigation data bar is on and you are navigating a route.

Showing the Compass Tape Data Bar

The compass tape data bar appears in a row across the top of a chart or a 3D chart view, above the navigation data bar. It shows the current heading, and an indicator that shows the bearing to the desired course appears while navigating.

1.From the Home screen, select Charts.

2.Select a chart or a 3D chart view.

3.Select Menu > Data Bars > Compass Tape > On.

Other Vessels

You can show and configure information about other vessels for the Navigation chart, the Fishing chart, Perspective 3D, or Mariner’s Eye 3D.

Note: To configure Automatic Identification System (AIS) information for other vessels, your chartplotter must be connected to an external AIS device. MARPA requires the use of a heading sensor. The heading sensor must output the NMEA 0183 sentence HDM or HDG. See “About MARPA” (page 77).
