MX510/MX512 Operator & Installation Manual - Simrad Professional ...

Waypoint Bank (WPT1) where a symbol is used as the first character of the waypoint
description. The Panorama and Plot screens will automatically place these navigation
markers on the screen as you approach them.
The degree values that you see are your Course Over Ground (COG), as calculated by the
GPS receiver’s position fix to position fix, and Bearing (BRG) from your present position
to the waypoint. The speed value is your Speed Over Ground (SOG) as calculated by the
GPS. The distance value displayed as the Range (RNG) is calculated from your present
position to the waypoint. The Time-To-Go (TTG) is the calculated time it will take you to
reach the waypoint, based on your Waypoint Closure Velocity (see NAV4 description).
To keep the screen from jumping around when you are stopped, the screen freezes the
graphic representation when your speed is under 0.5 Kn in DGPS mode or 2.0 Kn in GPS
mode. Once you get underway, your course details will update appropriately.
You will see a RL or GC symbol in the upper right corner of the display indicating whether
you are navigating under Rhumb Line or Great Circle. This is set in the CFG Navigate
menu.
If you press the EDIT key, the Panorama Display Option screen will allow you to customize
the information presented.
••
View - allows you to adjust the display for a Close (zoomed-in) or a Far (zoomed-out)
representation of your route.
••
Show Waypoints - allows you to turn waypoints which are not part of the active route
on and off.
••
Show Active Route - allows you to turn the course line on or off on the display
(assuming a symbol is entered for the first character of the waypoint name).
••
Show Off Track Limit - allows you to turn the cross-track error limit lines on or off on
the display.
••
Show Data Window - allows you to select between the two NAV 1 display types
depicted at the beginning of this section, one in which the data is displayed in various
parts of the graphic screen, the other in which the data is displayed in a separate
window to the left of the graphic screen.
If you drift outside of your cross-track error limit and you decide not to return to your
original course line, you can reset your course line from your present position to the
waypoint by highlighting the Reset XTE softkey from the display, and pressing the ENT
key.
The Skip Waypoint softkey allows you to skip the waypoint you are presently going to, and
advance to the next waypoint. For example, if you were under way and nearing waypoint
5 and you decide you want to go on to waypoint 6 now, press the EDIT key, highlight the
Skip Waypoint softkey, and press the ENT key. If you make a mistake and you want to go
back (unskip) to waypoint 5, you can do this by the following:
1 Go into the RTE1 screen.
2 Press EDIT in the RTE1 screen.
3 Highlight the Route Control softkey and press ENT.
4 Highlight the up arrow softkey (fourth from the left) and press ENT once.
5 Press the EDIT key again.
Refer to the Route section of this manual for more details about skipping and unskipping
waypoints.
