Measuring distance

The cursor can be used to measure the distance between your
vehicle 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
vehicle 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 vehicle
position. The grey icon follows the vehicle as the vehicle 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.
