NAV2 - Basic Steering Information
Navigate screen 2 provides the bearing (BRG) and range (RNG) to the
waypoint you are approaching in large easily viewed characters. Be-
low these, you will see your actual Course Over Ground (COG) and
Speed Over Ground (SOG). The bottom portion of the screen provides
cross-track error information. Again, if you don’t see the information
described here on your screen, you will need to create a route in
RTE1
first (refer to the
Route
section of the manual).
In the bottom half of the window, the vertical line in the center repre-
sents your course line. The checkered area on the left and right side of
this area represents the out of bounds or beyond the cross-track error
limit area. Whenever the boat is left or right of the course line, the
corresponding checkered area changes to solid black, indicating the
side of the course line that you are on. The number next to the course
line is your calculated cross-track error. The numbers in the lower left
and right hand corners indicate the cross-track limit you set in the
CFG1
menu under
Navigation
. You will notice that the cross-track
error limit lines are slanted, just as they were in the Panorama screen.
So if the boat is off to the right of the course, and the bow is pointing
straight up, you are actually traveling away from the course line. Keep
the bow pointed toward the top of the course line, and you should be
able to maintain your course without a lot of drift. The BRG and COG
values will confirm this for you, when executed properly.
