The

navigation with respect to the ground (not compensating for errors caused
by tidal currents, wind, or magnetic deviations), bearing, distance, and time
to next waypoint.

FUNCTIONAL CHARACTERISTICS
Descriptions used for operating the
B&G LCD Plotter
.
2.3.1
Navigation mode and cursor mode (AUTO & MANUAL mode)
The
LCD Plotter
is already in navigation mode when it is first switched on
and when the cursor is not present. The navigation mode is the normal
setting used during navigation. In this mode it is possible to do quick editing
operations (i.e., change waypoint, delete waypoint, delete route) by using
the CLEAR key.
To change to cursor mode, simply press the cursor key to activate the
cross-hair. This mode of operation is used to insert and delete markers, and
for viewing navaid information etc. The information windows shown are
different for each mode. Pressing the DATA key toggles between cursor
mode and navigation mode.
2.3.2
Autozoom
This function automatically zooms the image to the best scale available; that
is, the boat position to the next waypoint in the route. To deactivate
Autozoom, press and hold the ZOOM+ key to the desired scale. To
reactivate Autozoom, press and hold the ZOOM+ key until AUTOZOOM is
highlighted and then release. When the
LCD Plotter
is first switched on, if a
route is already shown on the screen from a previous day’s navigating, and
the GPS has a lock, Autozoom is automatically selected.
2.3.3
Contrast
Press the CONTRAST key to open the contrast window. Adjust the contrast
to the desired setting by pressing the left/right cursor keys. Press the
ENTER key to exit the contrast function.
