ring points to your destination Waypoint relative to your
current track (COG) . The compass ring and Bearing Pointer
work independently to show at a glance the direction of your
movement and direction to your destination .
e .g . if the Bearing Pointer points Up you are travelling directly
towards your destination . If the Bearing Pointer points in any
other direction you must turn towards the pointer until it points
Up in order to continue towards your destination .

There are two User Configurable Navigation displays that
can be set either as ‘Big Number’ navigation fields or as an
analogue Speedometer .
Big Number Navigation display
The ‘Big Number’ Navigation display is used to show digital
navigation information . It can be configured into 1, 2, 3 or 4
separate fields on the screen as shown below .
Each field can be individually configured to display
• Time
• Speed over Ground (SOG),
• Cross Track error (XTE)
• Odometer Distance
• Position
• Course over Ground (COG)
• Time to Go (to Destination) (TTG)
• Trip Distance
• External Voltage (Volts)
• Range and Bearing to Waypoint
• Estimated time of Arrival (ETA)
sPEEdomEtEr dIsPlay
The Speedometer displays Speed over Ground . The display
can be configured to suit the speed limitations of your vessel
or the speed range of a specific application (such as trolling) .
The Speedometer has 5 interval calibrations from minimum
to maximum . Simply set the minimum speed and the interval
speed and the Speedometer will be calibrated automatically .
The example above shows the minimum speed set to 0 knots
with the intervals set to 10 knots resulting in a Speedometer
calibrated from 0 to 40 knots with 10 knot intervals .
