Find Objects On Chart Panels - Lowrance HDS Live Operator's Manual

The cursor assist function
The cursor assist function allows for fine tuning and precision
placement of the cursor without covering details with your finger.
Activate the cursor on the panel, then press and hold your finger on
the screen to switch the cursor symbol to a selection circle,
appearing above your finger.
Without removing your finger from the screen, drag the selection
circle to the desired position.
When you remove your finger from the screen the cursor reverts to
normal cursor operation.
Measuring distance
The cursor can be used to measure the distance between your
vessel and a selected position, or between 2 points on the chart
panel.
1.
Position the cursor on the point where you want to measure the
distance to. Start the measure function from the menu
- The measuring icons appear with a line drawn from the vessel
center to the cursor position, and the distance is listed in the
cursor information window.
2.
The measuring points can be repositioned by dragging either
icon while the measuring function is active.
Ú Note:
The bearing is always measured from the grey icon to the
blue icon.
The start measuring function can also be started without an active
cursor. Both measuring icons are then initially located at the vessel
position. The grey icon follows the vessel as the vessel moves, while
the blue icon remains at the position given when you activated the
function. The measuring points can then be repositioned by
dragging either icon.
Terminate the measuring function by selecting the finish measuring
menu option or by pressing the exit key.
