Page 10-2
The STEER and 3-D STEER screens help you steer precisely
along a course line to your active waypoint. Both screens dis-
play—using large digits that you can read from a distance—the
following information:
•
name of the active waypoint (if any)
•
distance and bearing from your present position to the
active waypoint
•
speed-over-ground (SOG) and course-over-ground (COG)
•
estimated time of arrival (ETA) and estimated time
enroute (ETE)
•
numerical and graphical XTE
In addition, the 3D STEER screen, using a panoramic perspec-
tive view, graphically displays your vessel in relation to nearby
waypoints, as well as avoidance points. Both screens help
guide you precisely along a course line; for example, following
a harbor channel, or a line between shoals and sandbars, to an
active waypoint. You can choose whichever screen you prefer.
Of course, you can always access the information listed above
on the CHART-screen INFO BARs.
On the 3D STEER screen (but not on the STEER screen), you
can press the IN and OUT keys to zoom in and out on the dis-
play. Pressing the IN key lets you look at a smaller area; press-
ing the OUT key lets you look at a larger area.
Displaying the traditional steer screen
To display the traditional STEER screen, press the STEER key
(twice, if necessary).
