You may also hold the IN or OUT keys down to quickly scroll through the map scales. The Map

route waypoint.
A data fi eld at the top of the page now displays the speed, distance to the second route waypoint,
and a compass ribbon which shows you which way to go. To get started, let' s enter a speed for our
vessel, which we can do from the Main Menu Page.
To enter a boat speed:
1. Press the MENU key twice to display the Main Menu Page.
2. Use the ARROW KEYPAD to highlight the 'Setup' tab, then press RIGHT then DOWN until the fi eld
below the word 'Speed' is highlighted on the 'System' submenu tab and press ENTER.
3. Use the ARROW KEYPAD to enter a speed of 40 knots.
4. Press ENTER to fi nish, and PAGE until you return to the Map Page.
Once a speed has been entered, you'll notice that the map automatically begins to move slowly,
keeping your boat centered on the display. The direction of movement, also called 'track', is controlled
by the simulator.
