Cursor Readout
The cursor readout window is accessed by clicking on the
CURS
button, located on the lower popup toolbar.
The readout displays the location of the cursor
position relative to own ship’s CCRP. Readout data
appears when the cursor is within any area of the
display. If the cursor is moved to a secondary chart
window (see ECDIS Presentation Options) the
readout data shown is applicable to that chart.
The Cursor readout includes the following:
Latitude corresponding to the current cursor position.
Longitude corresponding to the current cursor position.
Range - the distance between the CCRP and the cursor position as
measured in nautical miles (NM).
Bearing from the CCRP to the cursor position, displayed as true or
relative by clicking on the
T
or
R
toggle button.
Reciprocal bearing, defined as bearing from the cursor position to
the CCRP, displayed as true or relative by clicking on the
T
or
R
toggle button.
Time To Go (TTG) - the geographical distance, displayed as hours,
minutes and seconds, between the CCRP and the cursor position
divided by speed over ground (when in ground stabilised mode) or
speed through water (when in water stabilised mode) . For
information on stabilisation options, refer to Sensor Data Display.
Cursor data may be calculated based on Rhumb line route or Great Circle
route, the default is
Rhumb
. To change the calculation of cursor data to
Great Circle click on the button, the button text changes to
GC
.
The Latitude and Longitude (L/L) readings are replaced by dashes if the
following happen:
the cursor passes over popup windows or toolbars
