Navigation/Fuel Data Screens
Navigation Screens
IMPORTANT: This device is intended as a navigation aid and should not take the
place of paper charts. A careful navigator never relies on one method to obtain posi-
tion information.
NOTE: For use of the navigation screens, your vessel must include a GPS receiver with
NMEA 0183 V1.5 or V2.0+ output and be connected to the System View.
The System View features two different navigation screens: Vessel Course and Next Way-
point Data. Next Waypoint Data provides course guidance to a destination waypoint, if pro-
grammed into your GPS navigation electronics.
SCREEN # 1 – VESSEL COURSE – COURSE UP
This vessel course – course up screen has a rotating compass ring that not only shows your
direction of travel, but also the direction to a targeted waypoint. When you are not navigating
to a waypoint, the compass will show your direction of travel. The boat pointer in the center
of the compass ring shows current direction.
When a waypoint is set using a separate GPS unit, an X mark will appear on the compass
ring. This X mark will indicate your waypoint. For instance, if the X mark lines up with the
center of the boat pointer, you are going directly to the waypoint. If the boat pointer does not
line up with the X mark, steer toward the X mark until it lines up with the center of the boat
pointer– then continue in this direction until you reach your current target waypoint.
The middle of the compass shows the current cross track error (XTE). This is the distance
you are off-course relative to the desired course.
Anytime a compatible GPS is connected, the current Speed Over Ground (SOG) as well as
the Course Over Ground (COG) are displayed on the screen.
