The distance and bearing of each leg are displayed near the center of the
screen.
To display the coordinates of each waypoint in place of the name and de-
scription, press the NAME/COORD menu key.
To plot an overhead view of the route, press the QUICK PLOT menu
key. When displaying the plot, you may use the NEXT WAYPT and
PREV WAYPT menu keys to advance along the route or move back to-
wards the beginning.
Use ZOOM IN and ZOOM OUT to display a smaller or larger area.
When you have finished looking at the plot, press RETURN to go back to
the previous screen.
When navigating from one waypoint to another, you may find you have
wandered off the intended course line. Perhaps you may have avoided an
obstacle, or simply drifted slightly off-course. Whenever you are off-
course for any reason, you may choose either of two methods for getting
back on course.
After passing the obstacle, you may steer the boat back to the original
course line using the Cross-Track error display (Course 1 below), and
continue to the waypoint.
