Simrad GB40 - Chart: Keep Your Vessel in View

•
Point to Point
◦ Select a point on your Chart. You may either drag the
screen cursor to a new location, or enter a new point on
your
Chart.
◦ A line joins the two single points OR, if the cursor is
dragged to create multiple points, a continuous line will
connect all points and the sum of the individual ranges
between these points, will be calculated.
The GB40 shows the range and bearing on the
Chart and
in the main menu, with an estimate of the time it will take
to travel that distance at your cruising speed. The
information is updated continuously.
◦ You may select new points at any time.
3.10 Chart: Keep your vessel in view
You can use this to re-position the Chart automatically to keep
your vessel in view on the
Chart.
Note: The re-positioning applies only to the chart on your
display unit.
Your vessel's current position will be shown in real time if you are
receiving position data from an external source such as GPS.
¾ To keep your vessel in view:
• Make the Chart pane active.
• There are three choices:
◦ Select Show Vessel from the Chart control panel, and
ensure that it is switched On. The GB40 repositions the
Chart to show your vessel as an icon that moves in real
time as your position changes.
◦ Use a USB mouse to select Vessel at the top of the
screen.
◦ Press and hold down the Vessel key on the controller.
• If you pan to a new area of the
Chart that doesn't include your
vessel,
Show Vessel automatically switches Off. Just press
Vessel to switch it on again.
