Chapter 8 - Understanding Waypoint/Route Navigation
On the 3D steer screen
The 3D STEER screen is similar to the STEERING screen, but
displays a three-dimensional view of your vessel with the
current waypoint, the course line to the waypoint, and the
locations of any other nearby waypoints between your vessel
and the destination waypoint. This screen provides a
comprehensive view of your progress towards your
destination waypoint, graphically showing your position in
relation to the course line and nearby waypoints so that you
can steer with the utmost precision.
