Without removing your finger from the screen, drag the selection
circle over the desired item to display item information.

normal cursor operation.
Measuring distance
The cursor can be used to measure the distance between your
vessel and a selected position, or between 2 points on the chart
panel.
1.
Position the cursor on the point from where you want to
measure the distance.
2.
Start the measure function from the menu.
- The measuring icons appear with a line drawn from the vessel
center to the cursor position, and the distance is listed in the
cursor information window.
3.
You can reposition the measuring points by dragging either
icon as long as the measuring function is active.
Note:
Ú
The bearing is always measured from the grey icon
to the blue icon.
You can also start the measuring function without an active cursor.
Both measuring icons are then initially located at the vessel position.
The grey icon follows the vessel as the vessel moves, while the blue
icon remains at the position given when you activated the function.
You terminate the measuring function by selecting the Finish
measuring menu option.
