1.8 Data Boxes
Data boxes, providing navigation data, may be shown on any full-screen display. Up to six
data boxes (two in case of large characters) may be shown, and the default data boxes are
position (in latitude and longitude), course over ground, speed over ground and trip log. The
user may choose which data to display, where to locate it, and show or hide it as desired. In
addition, data boxes may be set independently for each display mode (plotter, radar,
sounder). For how to select data for the data boxes, see the paragraph “7.5 Data Boxes
Setup.”

Data boxes

Plotter: D. BOX ON/OFF
Radar: ZOOM & D. BOX → D. BOX ON/OFF (EBL/VRM data box, cursor data
box also shown/hidden)

1.8.2 Rearranging data boxes
You may select the location for data boxes as follows:
1. Using the Trackball, place the cursor inside the data box you wish to move. As the
cursor enters the box it changes to a “hand”. Push the ENTER knob, and the hand
changes to a fist, meaning the box is correctly selected.
2. Use the Trackball to move the data box to the location desired, then push the ENTER
knob.
1.8.3 Temporarily erasing a data box
If a data box is obscuring a desired object, you may temporarily erase the box. Use the
Trackball to place the cursor inside the data box you wish to erase, then press the CLEAR
key. To redisplay the box, press the D. BOX soft key twice to display it.
