To clear an
INFO BAR
from the
CHART
screen, press and hold
an
INFO
key until the
INFO BAR
disappears. For more about
INFO BARS
, see “Displaying information about your position”
starting on page 4-15.
Navigating to a point
Two options exist for navigating to a pair of coordinates from
the
CHART
screen (if you’re not viewing the
CHART
screen,
press the
CHART
key to return to it). You can use the cursor to
designate a position on the chart, or you can enter coordinates
in a dialog box:
Option 1 — Using the cursor to designate a chart position
You can use the cursor to point to a spot on the chart and
navigate there, as follows:
1. To display the cursor (represented by a red square symbol
with crosshairs) and move it to the desired spot on the
chart, press the large
CURSOR PAD
located in the lower
right-hand corner of the control head.
The
CURSOR
PAD
is multidirectional, so you can move it
diagonally as well as horizontally and vertically. The
longer you hold the
CURSOR PAD
, the faster the
chart-screen cursor moves.
The distance and bearing to the cursor location, as well as
its lat/lon coordinates, are automatically displayed in the
CURSOR INFO BAR
at the bottom of the screen.
Chart-screen cursor
Cursor pad with
control arrows
To move the cursor small
distances, the best way is to
tap it; this method provides
finer control than does placing
your thumb in the center of the
CURSOR PAD
and gently
pushing left, right, up, or
down, although this method
also moves the cursor small
distances.
