Plot

PLOT 1 - Relative to Boat

The information in PLOT1 is always relative to your present posi-
tion. The boat always remains in the center of the screen and the
bearing and range are always from your present position to the next
waypoint identified in RTE1.

Modifying the Active Route Using the Plot Screen

Press the EDIT key to modify the screen to your needs.
You will notice that a magnifying glass icon appears in the middle of
the screen. This icon is used to identify waypoints and symbols which
appear on the plot screen. Use the cursor key to move the magnifying
glass around. Zooming out allows you to move the magnifying glass
over long distances at a faster rate. When the icon is on a symbol, it
identifies the symbol in the text area under the description of Watch-
ing:. This information includes the Waypoint Bank storage location
(WPT 25), the waypoint description that you gave it, the waypoint
coordinates and datum in which it is stored, and your present bearing
and range to this location (as opposed to the waypoint you are travel-
ing towards in your active route).
