Auto Zoom; Auto Range; Vessel Offset - Humminbird HELIX 5 SERIES Operation Manual

Auto Zoom sets the Chart View to zoom automatically based on the speed of the boat. As the
boat's speed increases, the chart range will increase. You can continue to use the +/– ZOOM keys
to see more or less of the view, and Auto Zoom will resume after 20 seconds. To use only the
+/– ZOOM keys to adjust the chart range, turn off Auto Zoom. See Views: Viewing Cartography
for more information.
NOTE: The Auto Zoom setting does not apply to the Bird's Eye View.
Auto Range, when turned on, sets the chart scale to the lowest range so that only the boat icon
and the next waypoint in the route are displayed. See Views: Viewing Cartography for more
information.
Zoom In/Out: Press the +/– ZOOM keys. Using the +/– ZOOM keys will override Auto Range. To
resume using Auto Range, press and hold the +/– ZOOM keys. See Views: Viewing Cartography
for more information.
NOTE: The Auto Range setting does not apply to the Bird's Eye View.
NOTE: If Auto Range is turned on, it will override the Auto Zoom menu action.
Vessel Offset allows you to display more of the Chart View based on the speed of the boat. Vessel
Offset works with Offset Speed.
Turn on Vessel Offset, and set the speed threshold in Offset Speed. When the boat is moving
below the Offset Speed setting, the boat icon will be displayed in the center of the Chart View.
When the boat is moving at or above the Offset Speed setting, the boat icon will move to the edge
of the view so that more of the Chart View is shown on-screen.
Offset Speed allows you to see more of the Chart View when the boat is traveling at or above the
Offset Speed setting. Vessel Offset must be turned on. See Vessel Offset for more information.
