View Orientation
Both Chart and Combo Views allow you to choose the orientation of the view (see Navigation Menu Tab: Chart Orientation). In both orientations, the view pans automatically so that the boat is always centered on the display.
•North-Up:True North is shown at the top of the display. Objects located to the north of the boat are drawn above the boat.
•Course-Up:The direction of motion of the boat is shown at the top of the display. Objects ahead of the boat are drawn above the boat.
When the boat is stationary, it is drawn as a circle. When the boat is in motion, it takes on a boat shape, pointed in the direction of motion (always Up in the Course-Up orientation).
Viewing Cartography
In the Chart or Combo Views there are several cartography-related functions that you can access using various keys.
Panning: Use the 4 -WAY Cur sor C ontrol key to move t he chart arou nd on the display in the d irection of t he k ey bei ng pressed.

At the sa me time, the temperature and speed boxes in the lower left corner are replaced with the distance and bearing from the boat to the cursor p osition and the latitude/longitude coordinates of the cursor.
