A data field at the top of the page will now display the bearing and distance to

the second route waypoint. To get started, let’s enter a speed for our vessel, which

we can do from the ‘Setup Simulator?’ listing on the options page. The setup sim-

ulator page is also available from any other page in the main page sequence.

To enter a boat speed:

1. Press the 

O

key to display the map options page.

2. Use the 

R

keypad to select the ‘Setup Simulator?’ option and press 

T

.

3. Once the setup simulator page appears, press 

T

to access the SOG field.

4. Use the 

R

keypad to enter a speed of 60 knots.

5. Press 

T

to finish, and 

J

to return to the map display.

Once a speed has been entered, you’ll notice that the map will begin to move

slowly, keeping your boat centered on the display. To get a better view of what’s

going on, zoom in to a closer map scale.

1. Press the 

C

key to select the 16 nm scale.

You’ll now have a clearer picture of the route we are navigating, along with an

outline-only presentation of the surrounding shoreline. Because the usable range

of the built-in database is only valid to 64 nm scale, we no longer have full cartog-

raphy available. Keep in mind that whenever you do exceed the usable range of

the built-in database or the Micro G-chart cartridge in use, the range field will dis-

play ‘OVR ZM’ or ‘NO MAP’ to indicate that you should exercise extreme caution

using the cartography data. See page 25 and 66 for more information on map

scales and using Micro G-chart detailed cartography.

Now that we’re zoomed in a little closer to our route, we can pan ahead of our

vessel with the cursor to review and create on-screen waypoints and navaids. Try

moving the cursor to select the ‘TOUR3’ waypoint— just use the R keypad to

move the cursor as close as possible to the waypoint (to move the cursor in small

increments, try a series of short key presses).
