3.4 Multi-Touch gestures
Raymarine a Series and gS Series multifunction
displays support multi-touch.
Multi-touch means that the display is capable of
recognizing multiple simultaneous touch inputs.
This means that you can use 2 or more ngers on
the screen at the same time to perform multi-touch
gestures.

• Move 2 ngers together to zoom out.
Pinch to Zoom can be used in the following

• Chart application.
• Weather application.
3.5 Touch icons
Touchscreen multifunction displays can use
the BACK and CLOSE icons to move between
the different levels of menus available in each
application.
Back — go back one level (same effect as pressing
the BACK button).
Close — close all open menus (same effect as
pressing the MENU button).
Using the cursor
The cursor is used to move around the screen.
The cursor appears on the screen as a white
cross.
If the cursor has not been moved for a short
period of time, it changes to a circle with a cross
in it, to make it easier to locate on the screen.
The cursor is context-sensitive. When it is
placed over an object such as a waypoint or
chart feature, it changes color and a label
or information associated with the object is
displayed.
