2.5 Compass Display
The compass display, shown in combination displays, provides steering
information. The compass rose shows two triangles: the red triangle shows own
ship’s course and the black triangle, which moves with ship’s course, shows the
bearing to destination waypoint.
The water temperature and depth graphs, which require appropriate sensors,
shows the latest 10 minutes of water temperature and depth data.

Compass distance
Reading the XTE (cross-track error) monitor
The XTE monitor, located below the compass rose, shows the distance you are
off course and the direction to steer to return to course. The own ship marker in
the monitor moves according to direction and distance off course. An arrow
appears at the right or left side of the XTE monitor and it shows the direction to
steer to return to intended course. It is shown in red when you should steer left,
and green when you should steer right. In the example above you would steer
left to return to course. To maintain course, steer the vessel so the own ship
marker stays at the center of the XTE monitor. Note that the XTE range can be
changed by rotating the [ENTER] knob.
