12 Set up navigation

You can make the following changes to the navigation options. These changes are global, meaning that they'll be applied to all the Chart screens.

These navigation options affect the radar, 3D Chart, 3D Steer, position information and instrument applications, as well as charting.

You can:

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

•

select the bearing mode (True or Magnetic) select the variation source (Automatic or Manual) set the manual variation (degrees)

select the format for position data (Degrees/Minutes, or Degrees/Minutes/Seconds)

set the look ahead distance (as a percentage value) set the centre circle distance (as a percentage value)

set the amount of time represented by the length of the course predictor line (one to 60 minutes)

set the angle delay that triggers the chart to reposition (as a degree value) set the waypoint arrival distance (0.01 through 10)

select whether you want the 8000i to continue navigating at the route end (Stop Navigating, or Keep Navigating)

12.1Select the bearing mode

You can use the bearing mode to specify whether your bearings display as True North or Magnetic North. The 8000i will display heading and bearing information with a suffix of T (True North) or M (Magnetic North) to show the bearing mode that is selected.

If you prefer to view:

•

magnetic bearings and have the 8000i information match with a magnetic steering compass or hand bearing compass, select Magnetic North.

true bearings where everything is referenced to True North for simplicity, select True North. If you select True North and have a compass that outputs True North (such as a Gyro or GPS compass), the 8000i will calculate the magnetic bearings by applying the magnetic variation. The magnetic variation is obtained automatically from the GPS (unless you select Manual Variation mode, in which case the manual variation is applied).

In some locations, such as close to the North or South poles, you may need to change the variation source to manual and then specify the amount of magnetic variation in your area (see "Set the manual variation" page 88)

To select the bearing mode:

1.Select Display.

2.Select Setup from the control panel.

3.Select + Navigation to show a list of position specification options.
