Choosing a steering
screen
Both screens help guide you precisely along a course line,
which might follow a harbor channel or a line between shoals
and sandbars. Both screens graphically show your cross-track
distance, which is the distance you are from your course line.
Both screens show numeric navigation information at the top.
NOTE:
You can also use the
CHART
screen to steer by when you want to get to
a waypoint and don’t need to stay precisely on the designated course line.
Displaying distance
and bearing
Both screens show your distance and bearing to the waypoint,
and your Speed-Over-Ground (SOG) and Course-Over-Ground
(COG). Your 958 may show an arrow between the SOG and
COG displays, pointing upwards when the trend of your speed
is increasing, and down when it’s decreasing.
When you’re less than a mile away from a destination
waypoint, you can show the distance to the waypoint in feet
by setting the 958’s steering distance precision option to
HIGH.
For details, see ”Changing the steering precision” starting on
page 171.
