Title: SI Display Questions
Post by: Emma Clarke on April 12, 2012, 04:42:05 AM

Hi

The manual doesn't seem to explain the top displays in SI mode, they are :

Cursor -  From Where to where?
Depth - Obviously blank
Distance - From what to what?
Bearing - From where to where?.

Thank you
Emma

Cursor - From your boat to where you have positioned the cursor on the map
Distance - From your boat to your selected waypoint or where the cursor is
Bearing - From your boat to your selected waypoint or where the cursor is

Let me add to what ITG stated:

Cursor: the distance to cursor from the side from the path that your boat took (90 degrees to the boat’s centerline).  This number will not change until you move the cursor closer to or farther away from the centerline on the Si View.

Depth: water depth at the cursor position (this is a calculated value and is only displayed very close to the centerline, so it is blank most of the time).

Distance: the distance to the position the cursor is on.  This will continue to change as you get farther away from or closer to the cursor position.

Bearing: the bearing from where you are now (which will change as the boat continues to move) to where the cursor is.

Maybe you can add that to the manual. ::)

I looked at the book and as Emma stated it is not a good writeup of the meaning.

It is a bit confusing as the book trys to define them all in a couple of sentences..

I vote to put Greg's reply into the book..
