The Cursor
The Cursor appears on the screen as
a white cross.
D7366-1
The cursor is context-sensitive. When it is placed over an object e.g. a waypoint or chart feature, it
changes color and a label or information associated with the object is displayed. When you place
WPT
the cursor over certain items, the soft keys change to enable you to access related operations.
To make it easier to locate on screen, the cursor
changes to a circle with a cross in it, when it is moved
after a 10 second period of inactivity.
Simulator:
To practice using your Display without data from a GPS scanner or fishfinder, switch on the simulator via the
System Setup menu.

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.
