The first STEERING screen is a traditional display showing cross-track
distance at the bottom of the screen (how far off your intended course
line you may be) combined with numeric information depicting the dis-
tance to your destination waypoint, your present bearing to that way-
point, your present SOG, and your present COG.
The "3-D" steering screen is a waypoint "heading-up" display showing
the waypoints between you and the destination waypoint, and your posi-
tion relative to the course line for precision steering. Both steering
screens are intended to guide you precisely along a course line which
might follow a harbor channel, or a line between shoals and sandbars.
The first STEERING screen displays your distance and bearing to the
waypoint, along with your Speed-Over-Ground and Course-Over-Ground
on the upper part of the readout. The digits are large and can be read
from a distance. An arrow between the SOG and COG displays points
upwards when the trend of your speed is increasing, and down when it is
decreasing.
The center of the screen has a user-selectable area which can be set to
display any of the information listed below. Press the middle menu key
to change the type of data displayed:
