ROTATING CHARTS ON THE CHART SCREEN
The 952's chart-rotation feature lets you change the angle of
charts that are displayed on the CHART screen. You can turn
charts to any one of the following angles:
North up - You'll see north pointing straight upwards (the
chart isn't turned).
Course-up - You'll see your vessel's current direction of
travel—whatever that direction is—pointing straight upwards.
Course-up represents your true course over the last few
seconds as determined by the GPS receiver. The 952 ignores
any course changes if your speed is under half a knot. The
chart will rotate sooner for large turns than for small ones.
Leg-up - You'll see your vessel's current leg to a waypoint—
whatever direction that is—pointing straight upwards. The
952 will adjust the chart on a leg-by-leg basis, so the chart
turns accordingly whenever you start navigating on a new
leg, even if you haven't turned the vessel yet. Exception: If
you select leg-up when you aren't currently navigating, the
952 automatically uses course-up—until you start navigating
along another leg.
If you're viewing course-up or leg-up, the text from the
Navionics cartridge is tilted to match the rotation angle in order
to avoid text overlap.
