Finding Distance And Bearing From A Point On The Map; Nav 1 Screen - Magellan NAV6000 User Manual

Finding Distance and Bearing from a Point on the Map

You can find the distance and bearing from one point to an-
other on the Map screen using a built-in "measuring stick."

to Ref. Point
Use the CURSOR KEY to place the cursor on the starting
reference point from which you are measuring. Press ENTER,
BRGDIS or ENTER, ENTER to activate the reference point.
A temporary reference point icon is created on the screen at
the cursor position.
The information window heading displays "Ref Cursor."
Use the CURSOR KEY to move the arrow to a second
point. The bearing, distance and other navigation data dis-
played in the information window change as you move the
cursor, drawing a dotted line between the two points.
Press BRGDIS again, and the reference point changes to
the new cursor location, which becomes the starting point
of the measurement.
Pressing BRGDIS when the cursor is not active sets the
last computed position fix or the boat's position as the ref-
erence point. Use the CURSOR KEY to move to a second
point.

NAV 1 Screen

From the Map Screen, press NXT PG to access the NAV 1
screen.
At the top of the NAV 1 screen is the destination waypoint (if
any).
The two large center windows display Bearing (BRG), Dis-
tance (DST), Course over Ground (COG), Speed over
Ground (SOG), how many degrees and direction to turn
(TRN) and Velocity made good (VMG). Following this in-
formation during navigation will put you on a straight course
to your destination waypoint.
Under these two windows is a Course Deviation Indicator
(CDI). The boat icon on the CDI points in the direction of
COG with respect to Bearing (BRG). Use the LEFT/RIGHT
ARROWs to adjust the scale.
At the bottom of the screen are the current position coordi-
nates and elevation, the time and date. The position coordi-
nates are based on the setup datum, which you may select
under Navigation Setup.
The active softkeys are MENU, ROUTES, CUSTOM and
NXT PG.
Press QUIT to return to the Map screen or NXT PG to switch
to the Nav 2 screen.
