HSB Series Chartplotter

Trackpad and Cursor

The trackpad and has several functions:

• To move the cursor around the chart screen

• To select an item from a pop-up menu or database list

• To adjust a variable soft key control

• To enter names in database lists

You can press on any of the four sections of the trackpad to move the

cursor in that direction (up, down, left or right), or press two sections at

the same time to move diagonally. The cursor moves faster as you

continue to press the trackpad. The current cursor position is shown in

the cursor data box (if selected).

Note: During many operations you cannot move the cursor around the

screen; if you cannot move the cursor using the trackpad, check the

default soft keys are displayed. If not, press ENTER until they are

displayed.

The cursor is normally displayed as a crosshair. However, if you have

not moved the cursor for more than five seconds, when you next move it

the cursor is outlined by a circle so it is easier to locate on the screen.

The cursor is used to:

• Select a position on the chart.

• Select and, if valid, move an item e.g. waypoint, on the chart.

• Pan the chart display.

Context-Sensitive Cursor Control

The cursor is context-sensitive. When the cursor is positioned over

special features on the chart display, a text label appears to identify the

feature, as follows:
