Cursor Data Box
Waypoint Name
This option controls the number of characters of each waypoint name that are
displayed on the chart. Reducing or removing the waypoint name can
sometimes improve the readability of the chart (all the characters are still shown
in other displays).
Waypoint Display
This option controls whether or not the waypoints and events are displayed on
the chart. If you set it to OFF, only the waypoints in the current route and the
active waypoint (if any) are displayed.
Course Vector
When the Course Vector is switched on, your vessel is displayed on the chart
with a dotted line extending from the bow indicating the current course. You
can select the length of the vector line; an "infinite" vector extends to the edge
of the chart.
The course vector shows the direction in which the boat is travelling (COG).
Heading Vector
When the Heading Vector is switched on, your vessel is displayed on the chart
with a solid line extending from the bow indicating the current heading. You
can select the length of the vector line; an "infinite" vector extends to the edge
of the chart.
Wind Vector
When the Wind Vector is switched on, your vessel is displayed on the chart
with a solid line extending from it indicating W (wind) angle.
The vector is only displayed if the required wind data is available from a wind
instrument connected to your system.
