(2)-4 Measuring the distance
and azimuth between two
points
ÅMeasurement between the ship
mark and the cursor position
Using the cross hair cursor permits you to measure the distance and azimuth
between two points easily.
The distance and azimuth that can be measured are between the ship mark and
the cursor position or between two points specified with the cursor.
qPress the [UP]/[DOWN] or [LEFT]/[RIGHT] key to activate the cross hair cursor
(in light blue).
The cursor position is indicated at the lower left of the screen.
*When the cross hair cursor is activated, the auto ship-centering mode is can-
celed.
wUsing the [UP]/[DOWN] or [LEFT]/[RIGHT] key, move the cross hair cursor to the
desired position.
Using the [UP]-[LEFT] or [UP]-[RIGHT] key combination allows you to move the
cross hair cursor to the upper left of right.
Using the [DOWN]-[LEFT] or [DOWN]-[RIGHT] key combination allows you to
move the cross hair cursor to the lower left or right.
*When the cross hair cursor reaches a screen edge, the coastline image is
scrolled.
eThe distance between the ship mark and the cursor position and the azimuth of
the cursor position relative to the ship mark are displayed in the cursor position
field. When the ship mark coincides with the cursor position, a message indi-
cating the ship reaches the cursor position is displayed in this field.

qPress the [UP]/[DOWN] or [LEFT]/[RIGHT] key to activate the cross hair cursor
(in light blue).
wUsing the [UP]/[DOWN] or [LEFT]/[RIGHT] key, move the cross hair cursor to the
desired first point.
ePress the [SET] key.
The first point (subcursor position) turns red.
The distance and azimuth readings in the cursor position field will also turn red.
rUsing the [UP]/[DOWN] or [LEFT]/[RIGHT] key, move the cross hair cursor (light
blue) to the desired second point.
*Pressing the [SET] key causes the subcursor to turn light blue, allowing you to
change the subcursor position.
tThe distance between the two points and the azimuth of the light blue cursor rel-
ative to the red subcursor are displayed in the cursor position field.
yWhen you finish measurement, press the [CLR] key.
The subcursor will go off.
