Chapter 6: Customizing the Chartplotter 65
Setting Up
the Data
Language
Select the language in which you wish information to be displayed. The
selected language will be used for screen text, labels, menus and options, but
will not affect the chart information.
Units
Choose your preferred units for distance, speed, depth and temperature. The
units you set will be used to display all data, including information received
from other instruments on the system.
Date and Time
Set your preferred time (12 or 24 hour) and date (month-day-year or day-month-
year) format.
Specify either UTC for universal time, or LOCAL and enter the current time offset.
The local time offset is retained if you change to UTC, so you can switch
between the two easily.
Simulator
The simulator allows you to operate your chartplotter without position data. It
generates a display with a moving vessel, so that you can practice using the
controls in safety.
➤ To set up the simulator:
1. Adjust the values to the required settings for the speed and heading.
2. Select the Starting Point option, the chart is displayed.
Move the cursor to the required starting position and press ENTER.
The set up menu is redisplayed with the starting position.
3. Set Activate Simulator to ON.
When the simulator is active, the word “SIMULATE” is displayed at the top of the
screen above the cursor data box.

Level 0 The default soft key labels are only displayed if a soft key is
pressed when no other operation is in progress, and they
disappear if no operation is performed for 7 seconds.
Level 1 The default soft key labels are displayed if no other operation
is in progress.
