[. . . ] Press the EXIT key to remove the information box and the Bullseye Cursor will be centered over the current station position. The Cursor Information Boxes will indicate the distance and bearing to the current station from your present position. 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/lon 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 UniMapTM does not contain any Port, Tide or Current information. This information is only available from optional-purchase MMC/SD cards. NAVIGATION (987c SI Combo models only) Use the 900 SeriesTM to establish waypoints at areas of interest and to navigate to those waypoints via a saveable route (representing the shortest intended distance between waypoints). You can also view and save tracks, which represent the actual path of the boat. 41 98x_Manual_531376-1_A. qxd 2/23/2005 11:40 AM Page 48 WAYPOINTS, ROUTES AND TRACKS (987c SI Combo models only) Waypoints are stored positions that allow you to mark areas of interest or navigation points. Your 900 SeriesTM can store up to 3000 waypoints. Waypoints, Routes and Tracks 1 Routes link two or more waypoints together to create a path for navigation, and are used in trip planning. You can link individual waypoints together by using the GOTO key. A route represents your intended navigation and shows the shortest path from each waypoint to the next. As you travel a route, staying on the route line is the most efficient way to get to your destination, although you should always look out for obstacles not shown on the chart. Your 900 SeriesTM can store up to 50 routes that can each contain up to 50 waypoints. Tracks consist of detailed position history, and are displayed as a breadcrumb trail of trackpoints. The Current Track shows the position history since the unit was powered up (maximum of 20, 000 trackpoints displayed). You can clear the Current Track or save it at any time. Your 900 SeriesTM can store up to 50 saved tracks, each containing 20, 000 trackpoints. The current track represents your actual path so far. 2 8 3 4 5 6 7 1 Depth 2 HDG: Direction that boat is traveling TTG: Estimate of Trip Time to Destination Waypoint 6 Speed of Boat 7 Waypoint 8 Route 9 Off-Course Alarm Limits 10 Map Scale 11 11 9 10 SAVE, EDIT, OR DELETE A WAYPOINT (987c SI Combo models only) Save your current position as a waypoint: On any view, press the MARK key to save the current position of the boat as a waypoint.
