The 958 offers two display modes:
•
vessel
•
browse
As long as the CONTROL key shows (CHART), Pressing the
CURSOR PAD at any time instantly changes the display from
vessel mode to browse mode. When you're in browse mode,
pressing the VESSEL menu key at any time instantly displays
your vessel in the center of the CHART screen, returning the
958 to vessel mode.
Vessel mode is indicated by the word VESSEL in the upper
right corner of the screen. In this mode, you can perform the
following functions:
•
see your vessel's present position in relation to your
intended course line and any nearby waypoints, nav aids,
land masses, etc.
•
split the screen (SPLIT key) to display the chart
simultaneously with radar and/or the optional sounder
screen and/or a video image; for details, see "Splitting the
screen" starting on page 46
•
