Measuring distance
The cursor can be used to measure the distance between your
vessel and a selected position, or between 2 points on the chart
panel.
1. Position the cursor on the point from where you want to
measure the distance. Start the measure function from the
menu
-
The measuring icons appear with a line drawn from the vessel
center to the cursor position, and the distance is listed in the
cursor information window.
2. You can reposition the measuring points by dragging either
icon as long as the measuring function is active
Ú
Note: The bearing is always measured
from the grey icon to the
blue icon.
You can also start the measuring function without an active cursor.
Both measuring icons are then initially located at the vessel position.
The grey icon follows the vessel as the vessel moves, while the blue
icon remains at the position given when you activated the function.
You terminate the measuring function by selecting the Finish
measuring menu option.
Saving waypoints
You can save a waypoint at a selected location by positioning the
cursor on the panel, and then selecting the new waypoint option in
the menu.
In the Chart and Nav panels, you can save a waypoint at the vessel
position, when the cursor is not active, by selecting the new
waypoint option in the menu.
