Map Page Cursor

When the cursor reaches the edge of the map, the unit may pause as it loads new map
data.

Using the Cursor

The cursor allows you to pan away from your present position and scroll to other map areas around

the world (even outside of your current detail coverage). As you pan past the edge of the current map
display, the screen actively scrolls forward to provide continuous map coverage. You will see an hourglass
symbol by the pointer while the unit is busy drawing new map detail.

To move the cursor:

1. Press the ARROW KEYPAD to move the cursor in an up, down, left, or right direction.

As you move the cursor, the distance and bearing from your present position to the cursor is displayed

in the data window, with the cursor’s position coordinates. Keep in mind that when the cursor is station-
ary, the distance and bearing from your present position changes as your boat moves. The cursor may
also be used to ‘snap’ to on-screen waypoints and map items, allowing you to review a selected position
directly from the map display.

To select an on-screen waypoint or map item with the cursor:

1. Use the ARROW KEYPAD to move the cursor to the desired waypoint or map item (if there are several

waypoints grouped closely together, zoom in closer for a better view).

2. When a waypoint or map item is selected, it will become highlighted on screen, with the name and position

displayed. Press ENTER/MARK to show details of the map item. When using BlueChart or MapSource
data, additional information tabs will appear. Use the ARROW KEYPAD to highlight the individual tabs
to display the information and additional options. Use the SOFT KEY options to Scroll Up, Down, Left
or Right when necessary.

To eliminate the cursor and re-center your position on-screen:

1. Press the QUIT key.

The cursor may also be used to create new waypoints directly from the map.

To create a waypoint with the cursor:

1. Use the ARROW KEYPAD to move the cursor to the desired map position. (continued)
