6.2 What does the chart screen show?
The Chart screen always shows:
•
an orange arrow with an N. This is the true North indicator.
•
an orange alphabet letter to show the unit of depth (such as a large M to
indicate meters)
•
a distance scale
•
a lightly shaded frame around the edges (this may not be visible with chart
overlays)
The status bar is the gray bar along the top of your Chart screen. This shows:
•
whether the chart is at normal size, overscaled (enlarged), or underscaled
(shrunk).
•
the position of the cursor (if the cursor is shown on the Chart screen) or of your
vessel (just select Vessel to see your position)
•
range and bearing (R/B) from your vessel to the cursor (if the cursor is shown)
•
your course over ground (COG) and bearing mode
•
your speed over ground (SOG) (in the units of your choice)
