system configuration using the MX51x internal flash memory.
Navigation - Navigation Method & Waypoint Pass Criterion
Control
This screen sets the navigation mode to Rhumb Line or Great Circle, Cross-track Error
limits and alarms, Waypoint Pass Criterion, and Waypoint Approach alarms. These
settings have a direct effect on your route calculation and how data is displayed in the
NAV and PLOT screens.
Navigation:
Sets navigation to Rhumb Line (default) or Great Circle mode.
When the navigation mode is set to Great Circle, the PLOT screens will not show your
course or cross-track error lines.
Range Unit:
Sets the unit of measure for all range calculations. You can choose between
Nautical Mile (default), Nautical Mile & Meters, Nautical Mile & Feet, Statute Mile,
Statute Mile & Meters, Statute Mile & Feet, Kilometers, and Kilometers & Meters.
Direction:
Sets all displays which indicate direction to True or Compass. If you want the
MX51x to agree with your magnetic compass, select Compass. The MX51x will
automatically add or subtract the appropriate magnetic variation and deviation.
Enter the compass deviation table into the MX51x in this screen. You can
differentiate between True and Compass settings by observing the degree symbol
on any bearing or heading display. True is indicated by a degree symbol (°),
Compass is indicated by a degree symbol with a small c under the symbol ( c ).
XTE Limit:
Sets the distance left or right from the course line you consider to be the
maximum allowable off-track error (known as cross-track error, “XTE”). The PLOT
screens will display the scaled cross-track error distance. The NAV screens will
indicate the cross-track error in numerical format and present the cross-track
error graphically scaled left or right of the course line.
