Data Boxes

Press the SELECT BOXES soft key to display the data box sub-menu.

This allows you to select up to 6 data boxes that you wish to be able to

display on the chart screeen.

Note: A fixed set of 9 of these data items are available for display in the

Nav Data window.

Data boxes provide regularly used data in a compact form so that most

of the chart can still be seen. The ones you select here can be turned on

and off (as a group) during normal chart use, and you can also move

them individually using the context-sensitive cursor.

Note that in addition to these grouped data boxes, cursor readout,VRM/

EBL data, waypoint data, MOB data and simulator status boxes are

displayed when selected or when the appropriate function is active.

Bearing Mode

The mode (magnetic or true) of all the bearing and heading data

displayed. This is indicated by “M” or “T” in the BRG or COG field of the

Chart status bar.

Cursor Reference

The mode of the bearing data displayed for the cursor readout. The

bearing information can be displayed in either of two forms:

• Relative: The bearing relative to your vessel’s heading. This option is

only available in Chart mode if you have heading data from a

compass.

• Mag/True: The actual bearing in either degrees magnetic or degrees

true.

If you choose this mode, the selection you made for the previous

parameter (Bearing Mode) °M or °T is displayed in the cursor (Rng/

Brg) data boxes.

Cursor Readout

This option controls whether the cursor data is shown in latitude and

longitude or in range and bearing. Alternatively, you can show both types

of readout, in separate boxes, or turn the cursor data box off.

You can also turn the cursor readout box(es) on and off during normal

operation, via the SCREEN default soft key (see Chapter 2).
