3. PLOTTER OPERATION

3.2 Presentation

Mode

Three types of presentation modes are provided for the plotter display: north-up, course-up

and auto course-up. To change the presentation mode, press the HIDE/SHOW key followed

by the B: MODE soft key. Each press of the key changes the presentation mode and

presentation mode indication (top right-hand corner of the screen) cyclically in the sequence

of North-up, Course-up and Auto course-up.

For C-map model, the sequence is North-up, Perspective, Course-up and Auto course-up

when PERSPECTIVE DISPLAY is set to ON, on the CHART DETAILS menu. (See Chapter

7.)


North-up

North (zero degree) is at the top of the display and own ship is shown with a filled circle.

This mode is useful for long-range navigation.


Course-up

The course-up mode is useful for monitoring

ship’s progress towards a waypoint. The

destination is at the top of the screen when a

destination is set. When no destination is set,

the course or heading is at the top of the screen

at the moment the course-up mode is selected.

A filled triangle marks own ship’s position.


Note:

The data sentences GGA and VTG must

be output from the NavNet unit connected to the

GPS navigator in order to correctly orient the

own ship marker in the course-up mode on other

NavNet units.


Auto course-up

The course is at the top of screen at the moment

the auto course-up mode is selected. In this

mode, the current course is kept at the top of the

screen when the change is within 22.5 degrees.

For example, if your vessel turns larger than

22.5 degrees to port or starboard, the chart

display will rotate so that your course is pointing

towards the top of the screen again. A filled

triangle marks own ship’s position.

Perspective (C-map only)

Chart data is projected in perspective mode, for

3D simulation, during navigation.
