Plot - Leica MX400 Operating Instructions Manual

Plot

Plot
There are two PLOT screens. The RTE1 and WPT functions are
highly interactive with the PLOT screens. The primary difference
between the PLOT1 and PLOT2 screens is the point of reference.
The PLOT1 screen displays graphic information around the boat,
your present position. The boat always remains in the center of the
screen. The PLOT2 screen displays graphic information around a
marker. The marker always remains in the center of this screen. If
you define some of your navigation markers in the Waypoint Bank
with a symbol in the first character position, the navigation symbol
will show up in relation to your planned course on the plot screen,
just as it does in the NAV1 Panorama screen. In addition to the
graphic details provided by the receiver, the Plot screens provide
basic navigation information, zoom in/out capability and scaling
factors for the display from around 10 to 20 meters, depending on
your latitude, out to 128 nautical miles. You will find these screens
very helpful in many ways, and we will provide you with a couple
of ideas on how to make good use of the PLOT function after the
screen description which follows.
Note: The Plot screens do not show your route and
cross-track error lines when in Great Circle
Navigation mode.
