(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 a HCRF chart (Hydrographic Chart
Raster Format), the INFO BAR displays the type of chart
series (Navigator or Skipper); expiration date (Navigator
series only); correction level (the Notice to Mariner's num-
ber to which the chart has been corrected); name and
date of the corresponding Chart CD; and name and date
of the corresponding Update CD.
To clear an INFO BAR from the CHART screen, press and hold
an INFO key until the INFO BAR disappears.
Two options exist for navigating to a pair of coordinates from
the CHART screen (if you're not viewing the CHART screen,
press the CHART key to return to it). You can use the cursor to
designate a position on the chart, or you can enter coordinates
in a dialog box:
Option 1 — Using the cursor to designate a chart position
You can use the cursor to point to a spot on the chart and nav-
igate there, as follows:
1. To display the cursor (represented by a red square symbol
with crosshairs) and move it to the desired spot on the
chart, at the CHART screen press the large CURSOR PAD
located in the lower right-hand corner of the 961.
The CURSOR PAD is multidirectional, so you can move it
diagonally as well as horizontally and vertically. The
harder you press the CURSOR PAD, the faster the
chart-screen cursor moves. To move the cursor small dis-
tances, the best way is to tap it; this method provides finer
control than does placing your thumb in the center of the
CURSOR PAD and gently pushing left, right, up, or down,
although this method also moves the cursor small dis-
tances.
