Viewing the NAV 1 Screen

Press the NAV key until the NAV 1 screen appears, showing BRG, DST,
COG and SOG. NAV 1, the first navigation screen, provides you with
information about your speed and direction of movement. If a route is
active, the NAV 1 screen also tells you where you are in relation to the
destination and courseline, and displays the name of the destination
waypoint of the active leg in the title bar.

In the bottom corner of the NAV 1 screen is a CDI (course deviation
indicator), which is a graphic representation of cross track error, or how
far off course you are. The straight line is the course marker, and the
current position is represented by the arrow. If the arrow is to the left of
the course marker, you are to the left of the courseline. The number
next to the CDI is the CDI scale, or the distance from the courseline at
the center to either end of the CDI. Pressing the LEFT/RIGHT ARROWs
changes the CDI scale. Select from 0.2, 0.4, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0 or 8.0 distance
units.
