Using the cursor on a radar panel

By default, the cursor is not shown on a radar panel.
When you position the cursor on the radar panel the cursor window is activated.
The cursor can be used to measure a distance to a target, and to select targets as described
later in this section.
To remove the cursor and cursor elements from the panel, select Clear cursor or press the X
key.

GoTo cursor

You start navigating to a selected position on the image by positioning the cursor on the
panel, then using the go to cursor option in the menu.

The Cursor assist function

When using a touch screen, the cursor assist function allows for fine tuning and precision
placement of the cursor without covering details with your finger.

Press and hold your finger on the screen to switch the cursor symbol to a selection circle,
appearing above your finger.
Without removing your finger from the screen, drag the selection circle over the desired item
to display item information.
When you remove your finger from the screen the cursor reverts to normal cursor operation.

Saving waypoints

You can save a waypoint at a selected location by positioning the cursor on the panel, then
selecting the new waypoint option in the menu.
