As you move the cursor, the distance and bearing from your present position to the cursor will be
displayed in the data window, along with the cursor' s position coordinates. When you zoom in cursor
mode, the cursor will stay centered on the screen. When the cursor is stationary, a fi xed coordinate
position will appear in the position fi eld, and the distance and bearing from your present position will
change as your boat moves.
To eliminate the cursor and re-center your position on screen:
1. Press the QUIT key. The unit will return to position mode.
The cursor may also be used to 'snap' to on-screen waypoints and map items, allowing you to review
a selected position directly from the map display.
To select an on-screen waypoint or map item with the cursor:
1. Use the ARROW KEYPAD to move the cursor to the desired waypoint or map item (if there are
several waypoints grouped closely together, zoom in closer for a better view).
2. When a waypoint or map item is selected, it will become highlighted on screen, with the name and
position displayed at the top of the screen.
To view additional details about an on-screen waypoint or map item:
1. With the desired waypoint or map item highlighted, press ENTER.
2. If the item is a waypoint, the Waypoint Review page appears, showing the waypoint name, symbol,
coordinates, elevation, depth (all of which are editable), and the options to 'Delete' the waypoint,
show it on the map ('Show Map'), or 'OK' to return to the Map Page. Use the ARROW KEYPAD to
highlight 'OK' or press QUIT to exit the Waypoint Review page.
If the item is a map feature or a feature of BlueChart or MapSource data, an Information page
appears, showing additional details about the feature, and options to show the feature on the map
('Show Map') or create a waypoint at the map feature location ('Create Wpt'). In some cases, addi-
tional information tabs and option buttons will appear. Use the ARROW KEYPAD to highlight the
individual tabs to display the additional information and options. Press QUIT to exit the Information
page.
