How to Find the Range and Bearing to a Location

The "ruler" feature measures the range and bearing between any two points on your
chart. Range and bearing between the two points are digitally indicated on the screen.
1. Use the CursorPad to put the cursor on the start point.
2. Long-push the RotoKey.
3. Use the RotoKey to select [Ruler].
4. Use the CursorPad to move the cursor to the 2nd point. A dashed line runs be-
tween the start point and the 2nd point. The range and bearing to the cursor posi-
tion are shown next to the cursor.
5. Push the RotoKey to erase the ruler and the indication.
