Viewing Cartography
In the Chart or Combo Views there are several cartography-related functions that you
can access using various keys.
Panning: Use the 4-WAY Cursor keys to move the
chart around on the display in the direction of the
key being pressed. When you do this, a bull's eye
cursor is drawn at the center of the screen and is
linked to the boat by a gray line, even if the boat is
off the screen. At the same time, the temperature
and speed boxes in the lower left corner are
replaced with the distance and bearing from
the boat to the cursor position and the
latitude/longitude coordinates of the cursor.
Zooming: Use the Plus (+) key to Zoom In and the Minus (-) key to Zoom Out showing
the cartography at different scales. The scale is indicated on the left side of the display.
If you zoom in beyond the available chart data, the display will go into Overzoom mode
whereby the last available chart data is amplified to reflect the scale selected. If you
zoom in so far that no cartography is available, a lat/long grid will be drawn instead.
Chart Info: Use the INFO key to get detailed information about the chart. If the
cursor is active, you will see information about the chart objects located near the
cursor. If the cursor is not active, the Chart Info menu will appear. You can select the
nearest port, the nearest tide station, or the nearest current station to see
information about any of these objects.
NOTE: The built-in Uni-Map™ does not contain any Port, Tide or Current information. This
information is only available from optional-purchase MMC/SD cards.
Nearest Port: The position and services information for the nearest port to your present
position will be displayed. Press the EXIT key to remove the information box and the
cursor bull’s eye will be centered over the port position. The cursor information boxes at
the bottom of the display will indicate the distance and bearing to the port from your
present position.
Nearest Tide Station: Tide information for the nearest tide station to your present
position will be displayed. This includes the position of the station and the times of the
high and low tides for today’s date. A tide graph is also displayed showing the rise and

Combo View
Combo View - This view is displayed as a split screen, with Chart View on the left
and Sonar View on the right side of the screen. The width of the sonar window can
be changed.
View Orientation
Both Chart and Combo views allow you to choose the orientation of the view. When
North-Up orientation is selected, True North is shown at the top of the display. In other
words, objects located to the north of the boat are drawn above the boat. When Course-
Up orientation is selected, the direction of motion of the boat is shown at the top of the
display. In other words, objects ahead of the boat are drawn above the boat. In both
orientations, the view pans automatically, so that the boat is always centered on the
display. When the boat is stationary, it is drawn as a circle. When the boat is in motion,
it takes on a boat shape, pointed in the direction of motion (always Up in the Course-Up
orientation).
