Introducing the function keys
961 Operations and Reference Manual Rev. D
Five keys located on the lower left part of the 961 instantly
select the most common functions. Each successive press of a
function key selects additional display screens belonging to
that function. There are several screens under each function
key (except for the TRIP key). For each function, the 961
remembers the last-viewed screen, returning there when you
later select the function. The one exception is the STAR func-
tion key, which always brings you directly to the ALARMS
screen.

The function keys are briefly described below.
•
CHART displays two independent CHART screens (views
A and B) showing your position on the chart, information
about the chart-in-use, all the data you need to navigate,
tides (using Northstar's exclusive TideTrack™ feature),
and currents overlay. You can create and store new way-
points, avoidance points, and routes at these screens, and
view existing waypoints, avoidance points, and routes.
•
STEER displays two screens helping you to steer precisely
along the desired track to your upcoming, or active, way-
point, including a display of your speed-over-ground
(SOG), course-over-ground (COG), name of the active
waypoint, distance, estimated time of arrival (ETA) and
estimated time enroute (ETE) to that waypoint, bearing,
numerical and graphical cross-track error (XTE), and
mapped waypoints.
