Navigation data24
BRG Bearing to Destination: Bearing to the destination from the boat.•
• BRG Bearing to cursor: Bearing to cursor from boat
CDI Course Deviation Indicator: When the boat is navigating to a point, the •
chart and highway windows show a parallel line on either side of the plotted course.
These two lines are called the Course Deviation Indicator (CDI) lines. The distance
from the plotted course to a CDI line is the CDI scale.
Set the CDI scale to the maximum distance that the boat should deviate from the •
plotted course. The chart and highway windows show the CDI lines, which are like
a highway over the water where the boat will move. The windows show how far the
boat has deviated from the plotted course and if the boat is approaching a CDI line.
If the XTE alarm is enabled an alarm will sound if the boat reaches a CDI line.
COG Course Over Ground: Direction in which the boat is moving over the •
ground.
CTS Course To Steer: Optimum course to steer to return to the plotted •
course.
DTG Distance To Go: Distance from the boat to the destination.•
ETA Expected Time of Arrival: At the destination, assuming that SOG and •
COG remain constant.
• DST Distance from boat to cursor
SOG Speed Over Ground: Current boat speed over the ground. This is not •
necessarily the same as the boat speed through the water nor the speed at which
it is approaching the destination.
STR Steering: The difference between COG and CTS.•
TTG Time To Go: The estimated time to reach the destination.•
XTE Cross Track Error: The distance from the boat to the nearest point of the •
plotted course. XTE may have a letter: R means steer to the right to return to the
plotted course, L means steer to the left.
VMG Velocity Made Good: The speed at which the boat is approaching the •
destination.
