Figure 2-4: Changing the Chart Center
Using FIND SHIP
FIND SHIP is used in chart mode to re-draw the chart with the vessel at the center
and the cursor homed onto the vessel.
When you press FIND SHIP the following occur:
• The chart is re-drawn with the vessel’s position in the center.
• The cursor is homed onto the vessel position and moves with it.
• When the vessel moves near the edge of the chart window, the chart is
redrawn to place the vessel and cursor at the center again.
• The status bar indicates vessel position, speed and course over ground.
➤ To release the cursor from homed mode press the trackpad to move the cursor
away from the vessel’s current position. The status bar shows the cursor
position, range and bearing.
Changing the Chart Scale
The RANGE key allows you to change the chart scale so that you can see a
smaller or larger area on the screen.
Plotter mode is available to allow you to zoom into a smaller area, even when
no chart data is available for that scale. Section 5.4 describes how to set plotter
mode on/off.
You can change the chart scale for two purposes:
