Cursor Mode
The map display uses the cursor keypad and a set of hard keys to control
most map display functions. The ® and ® keys, combined
with the 9 keypad lets you select zoom ranges, move the cursor and display
chart outlines. Two basic map operating modes determine what cartography is
shown on the map display: boat mode and cursor mode. Boat mode pans the
cartography to keep the present position marker within the display area, while
cursor mode pans the cartography to keep the cursor within the display area.
The GPSMAP system will always power up in the boat mode, with your
vessel centered on the map display. In boat navigation mode:
•Your movement is shown by the map scrolling past the centered boat.
• Whenever sufficient map coverage is not available to keep the boat centered,
the boat icon will move toward the edge of the display.
• If the boat icon attempts to go off the display, the zoom level may need to be
adjusted to keep cartography on screen.
Whenever the # keypad is pressed, the GPSMAP will enter cursor mode.
In cursor mode:
• The cursor can be moved over the map display using the # keypad.
• Whenever the cursor reaches the edge of the display, the map will scroll
forward under the cursor. Keep in mind that the boat icon will move with the
map scrolling, and may go off the display screen (you may not be able to see
your present position).
• When the cursor is stationary, a fixed coordinate position will appear in the
position field. Note that the distance and bearing, displayed in the destination
field, will change as your boat’s position changes.
• Whenever you zoom in cursor mode, the cursor will be centered on screen.
