3.1.2 Compass display

The compass display, displayed at the bottom half of the screen in the plotter/compass combination display, provides steering information. The compass rose shows two arrows: the solid triangle shows own ship’s course (heading) and the hollow inverted triangle shows the bearing to destination waypoint. When own ship’s course is changed, the hollo w inverted t r iangle moves with course change. Ship’s course and waypoint direction are updated every second and other information is updated ever y 15 seco nds.

The water temperature and depth graphs shows latest 10 minutes of temperature and depth data. The range of the depth graph is 50 feet and it is automatically adjusted with depth.

3.2 Selecting a Presentation Mode

Three types of display presentations are provided for the plotter display: north-up, course-up and auto course-up. To change the presentation mode, use the MODE soft key. Each press of the key changes the presentation mode and presentation mode indication cyclically in the sequence of North-up, Course-up and Auto course-up.

3.2.1 North-up

Three types of chart cards can be used: FURUNO, Nav-Charts ™ (NAVIONICS) and C-MAP.

When you insert a suitable mini chart card in the slot and your boat is near land, a chart appears. If a wrong card is inserted or a wrong chart scale is selected, the land will be hollow. Insert the proper card and select a suitable chart scale. Chart icons appear to help you select a suitable chart scale. The table below shows the chart icons and their meanings.

Indices and chart enlarg ement

When the [-] key is operated, you will see several fram es appear on the chart. These frames are called indices and they show you what parts of the chart can be enlarged in the current picture range. The areas circumscribed with smaller frames can be enlarged, but the area enclosed by the largest frame cannot.

Sample chart (Japan and South Korea) showing indices

When a chart cannot be displayed

A chart will not be displayed in the following conditions:

• When the chart scale is too large or too small.

• When scrolling the chart outside the indices.

• When this happens, select proper chart scale.

3.8.4 Track plotting method and i nterval for own ship track

In drawing the own ship track, first the ship’s position (fed from the blackbox GPS unit or DGPS/GPS receiver) is stored into the unit’s memory at an interval of time or distance. A shorter interval provides better reconstruction of the tr ack, but the storage time of the track is reduced. When the track memory becomes full, the oldest track is erased to make room for the latest.

Track plotting method

Track may be plotted by time or distance interval and the default setting is “time.”
