A range of vector graphics can be superimposed on to the chart display. The following vectors can be independently enabled or disabled:
•HDG (heading) vector — shows the vessel’s heading, displayed as a line with an open arrow head. It does not take winds or tides into account.
•COG (Course Over Ground) vector — indicates the vessel’s actual course, and is displayed as a line with two open arrow heads.
•Wind and tide vectors — winds and tides are displayed as lines with solid arrow heads in the direction of the wind or tidal set. Wind arrows point towards your vessel, and tidal arrows point away. The width of the arrow indicates its strength.
Note: The length of the HDG and COG vector lines is determined by the distance your vessel will travel in the time you have specified (3 mins, 6 mins or Infinite) in the Chart Setup Menu at the current speed. Any times that you specify will apply to all chart views, and if theInfinite option is selected, the vector will extend to the edge of the chart window.
Note: If neither Speed Over Ground (SOG) or heading data is available, vectors cannot be displayed.
