2.5 Compass Display<br />
The compass display, shown in combination displays, provides steering information.<br />
The compass rose shows two triangles: the red triangle shows own ship's course and<br />
the black triangle, which moves with ship's course, shows the bearing to destination<br />
waypoint.<br />
The water temperature and depth graphs, which require appropriate sensors, shows<br />
the latest 10 minutes of water temperature and depth data.<br />

Reading the XTE (cross-track error) monitor<br />
The XTE monitor, located below the compass rose, shows the distance you are off<br />
course and the direction to steer to return to course. The own ship marker in the monitor<br />
moves according to direction and distance off course. An arrow appears at the<br />
right or left side of the XTE monitor and it shows the direction to steer to return to intended<br />
course. It is shown in red when you should steer left, and green when you<br />
should steer right. In the example above you would steer left to return to course. To<br />
maintain course, steer the vessel so the own ship marker stays at the center of the<br />
XTE monitor. Note that the XTE range can be changed by rotating the [ENTER] knob.<br />
