2. PLOTTER AND PILOT DISPLAY DESCRIPTION

2-2

2.1.2 Pilot

display

The pilot display is similar to the plotter display, with the following differences.

1) The pilot display orientation is always auto course-up. The course is at the

top of screen at the moment the pilot display is selected. A filled triangle
marks own ship’s position. When own ship is off its intended course by 22.5°
or more, it is automatically brought back to perpendicular.

2) The north mark ( ) appears at the bottom of the screen and points to north.
3) The grid lines denote the distance from own ship, not longitude/latitude.

Note: When north is not at the top of screen, the distance error may be larger

than on the plotter display since the Mercator projection is used.
