3.1.3 Highway display
The highway display, shown in combination displays, provides a graphic presentation of
ship’s track along intended course. It is useful for monitoring ship’s progress toward a
waypoint. The own ship marker shows the relation between ship and intended course. The
XTE monitor shows the direction and amount your vessel is off course – the arrow shows
the direction to steer to return to your course and the numeric the distance you are off
course. Using the figure below as an example, you would steer right 0.009 nm to return to
course. To maintain course, steer the vessel so the own ship marker stays aligned with the
intended course line.
