Panning the Navigation Chart
You can pan away from your current location and scroll to other areas on the Navigation chart. As
you pan past the edge of the current map display, the screen scrolls forward to provide continuous
map coverage. The position icon ( ) stays at your present location. If the position icon leaves the
map when you pan, a small window (inset map) appears on the left of the screen so that you can
keep track of your current position.
As you move the map pointer, the coordinate location of the pointer is displayed in the upper-left
corner of the map, along with the distance and bearing of the pointer from your current location.
