eral seconds, then release. To return the symbols to the screen,
press any key.
To display navigational information right on the CHART
screen, press the INFO key, and one or two INFO BARs appear
at the bottom of the CHART screen. The second INFO key will
be present only after one INFO BAR is already displayed. Each
successive press of either INFO key displays the following data
as it relates to your vessel, in the following order:
1. speed-over-ground (SOG) and course-over-ground (COG)
2. lat/lon coordinates (latitude and longitude)
3. your preferred GRI and the best pair of loran TDs—avail-
able only if you've chosen to display position coordinates as
loran TDs at the CHART SETUP screen
4. active waypoint, if any; distance and bearing to the active
waypoint; a graphic and numeric display of your XTE
(how far off you are from your intended course line); esti-
mated time of arrival (ETA) as day and time; and estimated
time enroute (ETE) in hours and minutes. The 961 also
displays the placement of your vessel relative to the
desired track.
5. the name and number of the chart in use, its originator
and manufacturer, source date, and chart datum.
6. if you're displaying an HCRF chart (for example, an ARCS
chart), the INFO BAR displays the chart series (Navigator
or Skipper); expiration date (Navigator series only); correc-
tion level (the Notice to Mariner's number to which the
chart has been corrected); name and date of the corre-
sponding Chart CD; and name and date of the corre-
sponding Update CD.
The screens below illustrate the use of the two separate chart
views (A and B, displayed by pressing the CHART key), each
showing two INFO BARs displayed simultaneously. This func-
tion lets you see two INFO BARS with different navigation
data on your screen at the same time.
