Chapter 14: Weather (US only) 239
14.4 The weather display
The main features of the weather display are as follows:
14.5 Moving around the weather map
When you open the Weather application, a world map is displayed. If the system has
a position fix for your boat, the map will be centred on your boat.
As in the Chart application, use the cursor to move around the map and view
different locations, and the range button to zoom in and out.
Note:
The resolution in displayed data is lost on some graphics when zoomed in to the low-
er ranges. To solve this, zoom out to a suitable range that does display the data in more de-
tail.
To re-centre the map on your boat, use the FIND SHIP soft key.
14.6 Placing waypoints
The waypoint button and its associated soft keys operate as normal when you are in
the weather application but you will need to move the active window to a radar or
chart application in order to see any waypoints that you have placed.
