Viewing Waypoint and Navaid Attributes

When the cursor is moved over a waypoint icon, the infor-
mation window displays TO: waypoint name, scale, bearing
and distance to the waypoint, message (if any) and the coor-
dinates.

If the waypoint was created on the map using the
CURSOR KEY, the message line in the informa-
tion window indicates “CURSOR”. If the
waypoint was created as a saved GPS position, the
message line indicates “GPS”.

Map objects appear as icons on the map, including navaids
(buoys, signals, etc.) and other objects that are part of the
cartography such as rocks, wrecks, etc. (See Appendix for list).

When the cursor covers a
map object icon, object at-
tributes appear instantly on
the map screen in a QUICK
INFO window, giving an ab-
breviated description of that
object or objects. The abbre-
viated description is similar
in format and content to
what you would see in a stan-
dard paper chart.

If the cursor covers an icon in the lower portion of
the screen, the QUICK INFO window opens
above the icon. If the cursor covers an icon in the
upper portion of the screen, the QUICK INFO
window opens below the icon.

Press ENTER and the softkeys ALL INF and BRGDIS be-
come active.
