True Motion Limits
When a chart window is first displayed, the True Motion (TM) limits for that
chart window is centred with a default maximum width and height of
approximately 90% of the chart window’s width and height.
When own ship's CCRP reaches the edge of the TM limits box and TM
reset limits are enabled, own ship is repositioned to the opposite edge of
the box such that a line drawn from own ship in the direction of the current
course passes through the centre of the box, see Motion Modes.
Own ship may be moved outside the TM limits when TM reset limits are
disabled (either in panning mode or when Goto.. location values are
applied). In this case, the message
TM Limits Off
is displayed in the
Motion Mode field. To move own ship back to the centre of the TM limits
box left click on the Motion Mode button,
