Chapter 2: Operating Principles
Toolbars and softkeys
A toolbar is a set of softkey labels displayed along the bottom of a
display. Each label is color-keyed to match the corresponding soft-
key on the keyboard.
Pressing a softkey can cause a new toolbar to appear, call up an
options window or menu list, or trigger an action such as setting
your vessel on a track to a selected waypoint. Some softkeys have
sliders or pop-ups associated with them, where you make setting
adjustments using the rotary controller or trackpad.
It is useful to think of toolbars arranged in tiers. To access some
functions, you need to go to a second or third tier. If you acciden-
tally press the wrong softkey, you can go back up a tier by pressing
the
CANCEL
button.
If there are tiers below a softkey, the softkey label ends with an
ellipsis (…). For example, pressing “
GOTO…
” on the navigation
toolbar opens the GOTO toolbar, giving you access to further
options.
Note: When instructions in this book refer to softkey labels, the
ellipsis is not included.
Setup menus
Menus are where you make system- or application-wide changes.
Pressing the MENU button opens the Setup menu. From there you
can choose
application setup menus
or
system setup menus
.
The application setup menus are context-sensitive: if you are in the
chart application, for example, the chart setup menu is available.
For more information about the setup menus for each application,
see the appropriate chapter of this book. For all other settings, see
Chapter 18:System Setup and Customizing
on page 187.
