Casting Rings; North Reference; Waypoint Proximity Flags (Advanced) - Humminbird HELIX 5 SI GPS 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.
