How do I change the chart orientation?

The orientation of the chart refers to the relationship between the chart and the direction you are travelling in. It is used in conjunction with motion mode (see below) to control how your boat and chart relate to one another and how they are displayed on screen. The default mode is North Up (N-UP). This displays your chart with true north upwards. As your heading changes the boat symbol moves accordingly.

If desired, you can change the orientation mode to:

Head Up (H-Up) - displays chart with boat's current heading upwards. As heading changes, boat symbol remains fixed

Course Up (C-Up) - chart picture stabilized, current course upwards. Boat symbol moves as heading changes.

How do I change how my boat moves on the chart?

How your boat moves on the screen is referred to as the motion mode. The default setting for the chart is Relative Motion. This means that your boat is fixed on the screen and the chart moves relative to your

boat i.e.

If desired, you can change the motion mode to:

True (TM) - the chart is fixed and the boat moves in true perspective to fixed landmasses on the screen.

Autorange (AR) - selects and maintains the largest possible scale of chart that will display both the boat

and the target waypoint This option is not available when radar/chart symchronization is ON.
