The Vessel Symbol

When a GPS and a suitable compass sensor is connected to the system, the vessel

symbol indicates vessel position and heading. Without a heading sensor fitted, the vessel

icon will orientate itself using COG (Course over Ground).

If no GPS is available the vessel symbol will include a question mark.

Using the Cursor on Chart Panel

When you press one of the arrow keys the cursor will become

visible, and the cursor position window will be activated.

When you are in cursor mode, the chart will not pan or

rotate to follow the vessel.

Pressing the ‘X’ key will toggle the chart position between the

vessel and the previous cursor position.

To remove the cursor and cursor elements from the panel, press the ‘X’ key.

Selecting objects

When you rest the cursor over a chart item, a

waypoint, a route or a target, basic information for

the selected item will be displayed.

By pressing the rotary knob or the tick key when

a chart item is selected, all available information

about that item will be shown.

Popup information has to be enabled.

Creating waypoints and routes

You can use the cursor to position waypoints and routes as described in the Waypoints,

Routes and Tracks section.
