In the bottom half of the window, the vertical line in the
center represents your course line. The checkered area
on the left and right side of this area represents the out
of bounds or beyond the cross-track error limit area.
Whenever the boat is left or right of the course line, the
corresponding checkered area changes to solid black,
indicating the side of the course line that you are on. The
number next to the course line is your calculated cross-
track error. The numbers in the lower left and right hand
corners indicate the cross-track limit you set in the CFG1
menu under Navigation. You will notice that the cross-
track error limit lines are slanted, just as they were in
the Panorama screen. So if the boat is off to the right of
the course, and the bow is pointing straight up, you are
actually traveling away from the course line. Keep the
bow pointed toward the top of the course line, and you
should be able to maintain your course without a lot of
drift. The BRG and COG values will confirm this for you,
when executed properly.
From time to time, you might drift off course and decide
not to return to your original course line. If you drift
outside of your cross-track error limit, you can reset your
course line from your present position to the waypoint
by pressing the EDIT key and selecting Reset XTE from
the display. This will save your autopilot from having to
work hard to get you back on course. Press the EDIT key
again to get back into normal display mode.
In addition, if you decide you want to skip this waypoint,
and go on to the next one, Press the EDIT key, and the
