On other screens, you move the CURSOR PAD in an
up-to-down (vertical) and left-to-right (horizontal) direction to
select data. For example, at the WAYPOINTS screen, you press
the CURSOR PAD to highlight different waypoints comprising
the waypoint list: First press the WAYPTS/ROUTES key to
view the WAYPOINTS screen, then press the up and down
arrows of the CURSOR PAD to highlight waypoints. If you
now want to edit this highlighted waypoint, press the EDIT
key, and you'll see the red cursor flashing in the NAME field.
From this point, press the CURSOR PAD left and right to move
the cursor from field to field.
The alphanumeric KEYPAD contains a LEFT ARROW key and
a RIGHT ARROW key, which are used while entering data to
move the flashing cursor to the character you want to change.
For example, if you make a mistake when entering lat/lon
coordinates or waypoint and route names, press the LEFT
ARROW key to move the cursor—a flashing red box that
represents the place at which the next typed character will
appear—back to a previous character. Use the RIGHT ARROW
key to move the cursor to the right.
The arrow keys also have other uses on the CHART screen:
The most important one occurs after you've pressed the
CURSOR PAD, and you've selected a particular object that has
multiple meanings; press the LEFT ARROW or RIGHT ARROW
to cycle through the selection of several possible objects
selected by the cursor.
Other uses include selecting time and date for tides, currents,
and tracks. When the arrow keys are meant to be used in this
way, a small picture of the arrow keys is displayed on the
screen.
