Data Boxes

Press the SELECT BOXES soft key to display the data box sub-menu. This allows
you to select up to 6 data boxes that you can display on the radar.
Note 1: A fixed set of nine of these data items are available for display in the
Nav Data half-screen window (see Chapter 2).
Note 2: In addition to these grouped data boxes, boxes for the cursor readout,
VRM/EBL data, waypoint data, MOB data and simulator status are displayed
when selected or when the appropriate function is active.
Data boxes provide regularly used data in a compact form so that most of the
radar picture can still be seen. The ones you select here can be turned on and off
as a group (see Section 3.4) during normal operation, and you can also move
them around the screen individually using the context-sensitive cursor (see
Chapter 4).

Bearing Mode

The mode (magnetic or true) of all the bearing and heading data displayed. This
is indicated in the radar status bar after the heading value.

Cursor Reference

The mode of the bearing data displayed for the cursor readout. The bearing
information can be displayed in either of two forms:
• Relative: The bearing relative to your vessel's heading.
• Mag/True: The actual bearing in either degrees magnetic or degrees true.
This option is only available in Radar mode if you have heading data from a
compass.
If you choose this mode, the selection you made for the previous parameter
(Bearing Mode), °M or °T, is displayed in the cursor (Rng/Brg) data boxes.
The current units are shown for the heading value in the status bar at the top
of the screen.
Note: The bearing type for the EBL display can be selected separately (see
Section 7.4).

Cursor Readout

This option controls whether the cursor data is shown in latitude and longitude
or in range and bearing. Alternatively, you can show both types of readout, in
separate boxes, or turn the cursor data box off.
You can also turn the cursor readout box(es) on and off during normal
operation, via the SCREEN default soft key (see Chapter 2).
