Measuring distance
The cursor can be used to measure the distance between your vessel and a selected position,
or between 2 points on the chart panel.
1. Position the cursor on the point from where you want to measure the distance from the
vessel
2. Start the measure function from the menu
- The measuring icons will appear with a line drawn from the vessel center to the cursor
position, and the distance will be listed in the cursor information window
3. You can reposition the measing points by dragging either icon as long as the measuring the
function is active
Ú Note: The bearing will always be measured from the grey icon to the blue icon.
You can also start the measuring function without an active cursor. Both measuring icons will
then initially be located at the vessel position. The grey icon will follow the vessel as the
vessel moves, while the blue icon will remain at the position given when you activated the
function.
You terminate the measuring function by selecting the Finish measuring option.
Find objects on chart panels
You can search for other vessels or various
chart items from a chart panel.
Activate the cursor on the panel to search
from the cursor position. If the cursor is not
active the system will search for items from
the vessel's position.
Ú Note: You must have a SIRIUS data package subscription to search for fueling stations and an
AIS receiver connected to search for vessels.
3D charts
The 3D option provides a three dimensional graphical view of land and sea contours.
Ú Note: All chart types work in 3D mode, but without 3D cartography for the appropriate area
the chart will appear flat.
When 3D chart option is selected, the Pan and the Rotate icons appear on the right side of
the chart panel.
Panning the 3D chart
You can move the chart in any direction by selecting the Pan icon and then panning in the
desired direction.
Select the Return to vessel menu option to stop panning, and to center the chart to vessel
position.
Controlling the view angle
You can control the view angle by seleting the Rotate icon and then panning the chart
panel.
• To change the direction you are viewing, pan horizontally
• To change the tilt angle of the view, pan vertically
Ú Note: When centered on the vessel position, only the tilt angle can be adjusted. The view
direction is controlled by the chart orientation setting. See "Positioning the vessel on the chart panel" on
page 25.
