THE LOWER DATA WINDOW
In the upper left corner, the destination waypoint identifier is displayed. This is
transmitted to the Argus by the GPS, or selected in the Argus flight planning mode.
It can be up to five characters.. (Some receivers, such as the II Morrow 612
LORAN, don't transmit the alphabetic characters, although the numerical information
is still present. If the characters are unavailable, the field is left blank. Refer to the
Appendix to see what is available from the compatible receivers.)
In the center of the top line of the lower window is a simulated CDI (Course
Deviation Indicator). This indicates how far off-course you are; the number is
obtained from the GPS-computed "crosstrack distance" or by the Argus when in flight
planning mode. This CDI may be available on the GPS display, but only by sacrificing
some other information. The Argus shows how far off-course you are, either
symbolically with the triangle as shown above, or by placing a number in the CDI
position. When the triangle is present, it also serves as a TO/FROM indicator. The
illustration above indicates that you are off-course and should fly to the right. The
display R 9.0NM would mean that you are 9 nautical miles to the left of course, and
should fly to the right to get back on course. The DIGITAL selection for the CDI
always tells you how far off-course you are in nautical miles. The triangle's scale
factor depends upon the setting you selected in the AMEND mode. When you use
the Argus FP software, detailed in Section 5, the Argus calculates and displays some
of the information that would otherwise come from the navigation receiver.
