View Orientation; Viewing Cartography - Humminbird 597ci Combo Operation Manual

V V i i e e w w O O r r i i e e n n t t a a t t i i o o n n
Both Chart and Combo Views allow you to choose the orientation of the view.
When North-Up orientation is selected, True North is shown at the top of the
display. In other words, objects located to the north of the boat are drawn above
the boat. When Course-Up orientation is selected, the direction of motion of the
boat is shown at the top of the display. In other words, objects ahead of the boat
are drawn above the boat. In both orientations, the view pans automatically, so
that the boat is always centered on the display.
When the boat is stationary, it is drawn as a circle. When the boat is in motion,
it takes on a boat shape, pointed in the direction of motion (always Up in the
Course-Up orientation).

In the Chart or Combo Views there are several cartography-related functions
that you can access using various keys.
Chart View with Cursor Present,

Navionics® Cartography
Panning: Use the 4-WAY Cursor Control
key to move the chart around on the
display in the direction of the key being
pressed. When you do this, a bull's eye
cursor is drawn at the center of the screen
and is linked to the boat by a gray line,
even if the boat is off the screen. At the
same time, the temperature and speed
boxes in the lower left corner are replaced
with the distance and bearing from the
boat to the cursor position and the
latitude/longitude coordinates of the
cursor.
