NAV1 - The Panorama Screen

This screen is designed to give you a unique 3 dimensional look at
the active route you are to follow. We typically refer to it as a
runway view, because you can see navigation markers, your course
line, the cross-track error lines, and waypoint flags as you pass
them. Take a look at the example below.
If you don't see the information described below on your screen,
you will need to create a route in RTE1 first.
The somewhat triangular shape at the bottom center of the screen
represents the bow of the boat. Icons on the screen are always
related to this object. The two dash lines extending from the bottom
of the screen towards the center of the screen represent your cross-
track error limits. The dotted line extending from the bow of the
boat icon, represents your course line. The course line changes
direction at the flags, which represent your waypoints, and contin-
ues through to the end of the active route you entered in RTE1.
Notice that the cross-track error lines end at the first flag. As you
pass the flag and start the next leg of your course, these lines will be
redrawn to reflect the course change. Icons that you see left and
right of your course are navigation markers that you define in the
Waypoint Bank (WPT1) where a symbol is used as the first
character of the waypoint description. The Panorama and Plot
screens will automatically place these navigation markers on the
screen as you approach them.
The degree values that you see are your Course Over Ground
(COG), as calculated by the GPS receiver's position fix to position
fix, and Bearing (BRG) from your present position to the waypoint.
The speed value is your Speed Over Ground (SOG) as calculated by
the GPS, not by the paddle wheel which provides speed through
