Map Modes
There are two map operating modes: the position mode and the cursor mode.
When the map is in the position mode, the position marker pans the cartography
to keep itself within the display area. When the map is in the cursor mode, the
cursor pans the cartography to keep the itself within the display area. The sounder
will always power up in the position mode, with your vessel centered on the map
display. Here are some points to keep in mind when using the position mode:
• Whenever sufficient map coverage is not available to keep the boat cen-
tered, the boat symbol will move toward the edge of the display.
• If the boat symbol attempts to go off the display, adjust the zoom level to
keep the cartography on the screen.
Whenever the R keypad is pressed, the sounder will enter cursor mode. In the
cursor mode:
• The cursor can be moved around the map display using the R keypad.
• Whenever the cursor reaches the edge of the display, the map will scroll
forward under the cursor. Keep in mind that the boat symbol 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 will change as the boat’s
position changes.
• Whenever you zoom in cursor mode, the cursor will be centered on screen.
To return to position mode, press the Q key.
