If a route is not selected, the ROUTE field displays NO ROUTE.

The WAYPOINT field shows the name of the waypoint. If the waypoint is part of a route then the title field includes the waypoint index in the route. If there is no target waypoint the text indicates NO WAYPOINT and all waypoint data is shown as dashes, one per character. If a route is being followed and the waypoint is not named, the text shows the waypoint number within the route (as displayed on screen). If a GOTO Cursor or Port is in progress, the text indicates GOTO CURSOR or GOTO ‘Port Name’.

BRG, RNG and XTE data relate to the target waypoint.

The Time refers to local time and is set in the System Set Up menu, Chapter 4.

The Time To Go (TTG) and Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) data relate to the target waypoint (not the whole route) and are based on the Speed Over Ground (SOG) towards the target. If the VMG is negative, or data is not available, these fields are replaced by dashes, one per character.

The steering instruction is STEER STARBOARD if the XTE is 0.01nm or more to port, STEER PORT if the XTE is 0.01nm or more to starboard or ON COURSE if XTE is less than 0.01 on either side.
