12.8Set the angle delay to update the chart

You can use the angle delay setting to make the Chart screen reposition after your vessel has become orientated a certain number of degrees off course, so that your vessel's head still points to the top of the screen. (This works in both Look Ahead mode and Center mode.)

For example, if you set the angle delay to 10°, the Chart screen will reposition automatically when your vessel is 10° off course.

15° is the default.

This works only when the chart orientation is set to HeadUp or CourseUp. To change the angle delay setting:

1.Select Display.

2.Select Setup from the control panel.

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

4.The Angle Delay to Update Chart button shows the current setting. Select EDIT if want to change the setting, then enter the new setting and select OK. You don't need to enter the ° symbol.
