Display Mode and Chart Orientation

There are two display modes to present your ship's movement on the electronic chart. They are true motion, TM,
and relative motion, RM. In the true motion mode, the ECDIS shows your ship's position and other "in motion" data
such as radar targets moving on the earth-fixed chart background. In the relative motion display mode, the
orientation of chart is set again when you press the TM/CU RESET button or the SHIP OFF CENTER button.
Note 1: In the route-up, RM display, the orientation is reset whenever the source is changed.
Note 2: The chart is redrawn in the route-up orientation when a new To WPT is set.
The display mode currently in use is shown at the top left corner on the screen.
The list below shows the display mode and chart orientation combinations available.
True Motion
• True Motion North-up
• True Motion Course-up
In the true motion display mode, the orientation of the chart is automatically reset when it reaches the TM reset
boundary, or when you use the TM Reset function, accessed from the mouse functions area or the CU/TM R key on
the keyboard-equipped unit.
Relative Motion
• Relative Motion North-up
• Relative Motion Course-up
• Relative Motion Route-up
In the Relative Motion display mode, the orientation of the chart is set again when you press TM/CU RESET
button or when you press SHIP OFF CENTER button.
If you use route-up together with relative motion, the orientation is reset whenever the source of it has been
changed.
The chart is redraw in the Route-up orientation when the chart source is changed or a new To WP is set.
