Displays information on cartographic object when the cursor is placed
on it. Automatic Info On Points shows information when the cursor is
placed on points as Port Services, Tides, Lights, Wrecks, Rocks, Buoys,
Beacons, Obstructions, Land markers, etc.. Automatic Info On All shows
information when the cursor is placed on points, on lines (as Depth
Contours, Traffic Separation, Territorial Sea, Cartographic Lines etc.),
on areas (Depth, Built-up, Sea, Attention, Restricted etc.) and on names
(on the beginning of the text -hot spot- or on any of the characters of
the name -name message box-). The details on Land, Source of Data,
Cartographic Area and Spot Soundings are not shown.
In Home mode the Screen Amplifier (Look Ahead) function sets up the
charts on the navigation direction (course) in order to display more map
details in front of the vessel's position.
Selects the value among Off/2/10/30 Min/1/2 hours/Infinite. The Course
Line is a graphical indication of the direction in which the Vessel is
heading. The Course Line origin is the vessel's position so the time lie
movement is synchronized with the vessels Icon. Course Line "course"
is given by the value of COG (Course Over Ground) and its length is
proportional to the SOG (Speed Over Ground).
Sets the Ship Icon Mode between Steady or Blinking. When Ship Icon
Mode is Blinking, the Ship Icon (and the heading line) blinks every 1
second, otherwise when it is Steady the Ship Icon (and the heading line)
does not blink.
Selects the Coordinate System among ddd mm ss (degrees, minutes
and seconds), ddd mm.mm (degrees, minutes and hundredths of
minute), ddd mm.mmm (degrees, minutes and thousandths of minute),
UTM, OSGB, TD (allows conversion from GPS coordinates in Loran-C
coordinates and vice versa). If TD is selected as Coordinate System, a
new menu appears on the screen to set Chain, Pair, ASF 1/2, Alternate
Solution.
Selects any Geodetic Datum reference from the over 100 available on
the chart plotter. Map Datum selection switches to the selected reference
datum applying the datum offsets stored with the charts.
Sets the datum reference used by the GPS receiver connected to (or
integrated in) the chart plotter so that the chart plotter converts the
position received from the GPS to the Map Datum currently elected in
the menu in order to match the position from the GPS with the position
on the charts. You must know what datum reference is used by the GPS
and set it in the Fix Datum option.
The coordinates o a Waypoint, received from a GPS connected to the
chart plotter, can be stored into the chart plotter, if the GPS is NMEA-
0183 protocol compatible and support the $BWC sentence (this symbol
remains on the screen for 30 seconds). You may save it by placing a
Waypoint or a Mark onto that symbol. As soon as the chart plotter receives
another $BWC sentence with the coordinates of a new Waypoint, he
symbol moves to the new point.
Sets On (icon + label), Off or Icon (only icon) the displaying of User
Point.
Sets Normal or Small the icon of User Point.
Customizes the Text Area layout between Off and Text Area with a
variable number of boxes.
