North Reference - Humminbird HELIX 5 SERIES Operation Manual

Casting Rings allows you to display a circle around each waypoint on the Chart View. This menu
option sets the distance that the Casting Ring will be displayed from the waypoint. Select Off to
hide the Casting Rings.
NOTE: Casting Rings are not applied to decluttered waypoints (see Navigation Menu Tab: Waypoint
Decluttering).
North Reference allows you to have bearings displayed with one of two orientations: True North
or Magnetic North.
Waypoint Proximity Flags allows you to display or hide waypoint flags for the ten closest
waypoints to the boat or active cursor. The flags show the distance from the boat (or active cursor)
to each waypoint.
Waypoint Proximity Flags are also influenced by the zoom level and boat speed. The flags are
only displayed if the chart range is less than .5 sm and the boat is traveling less than 15 mph.
Waypoint Decluttering allows you to set the declutter feature On or Off. When two or more
waypoints overlap, or are displayed close together on a chart view, the screen will automatically
declutter—waypoint names will shorten and the waypoint icons will change into small blue
icons. Select Off to display waypoints at regular size.
