Chapter 14: RNS mode
14.1 Introduction
If you are using a monitor to work with RayTech at one or more of your
helm stations, using RNS mode and the USB navigation keyboard is the
ideal way of working.
RNS mode- see “The RNS screen” on page 140 - increases the screen area
of your RayTech pages by removing the menu bar, tool bars and the
Pathfinder panel from view.

The easy-to-use Raymarine USB Navigation Keyboard (referred to as the
