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

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

Use the new waypoint menu option to save a waypoint on the panel. If the cursor is active,

the waypoint is saved at the cursor position. If the cursor is not active, the waypoint is saved

at your vessel's position.

Creating routes

You can create routes as follows on the chart panel.

1. Position the cursor on the chart panel

2. Select New followed by New route in the menu

3. Select the position for the first routepoint:

On touch screen: tap the chart panel

key

Find objects on chart panels

You can search for other vessels or various chart items from a chart panel.

Activate the cursor on the panel to search from the cursor position. If the cursor is not active,

the system searches for items from the vessel's position.
