Note: The cursor cannot be operated in the forward looking view.
To Determine the Distance and Bearing From Present Position
The simplest and most frequent use of the cursor is to determine the distance and bearing from
your present position to some point of interest.
To activate the cursor, simply press the directional arrow that best corresponds with the
direction you choose to move.
You may press the directional arrow repeatedly to slowly move the cursor, or hold the arrow down
to move the cursor faster and over a greater distance.
When the cursor mode is active, the multi-function display box contains information on the
coordinates position of the cursor, and the distance and bearing from your present position to the
cursor position.
This is especially valuable to determine your distance from a shoreline, or any point of interest
and it provides a very quick and accurate way to navigate to the cursor position.
To Scroll the Map
The cursor may also be used to scroll the map on the display screen. When the cursor reaches
the border of the viewing area the map will begin scrolling.
CREATING TEMPORARY WAYPOINTS
A temporary waypoint is a point of interest defined by two coordinates (lat-lon) that is entered
using the P STOR key or the GO TO key. (See “Creating Temporary Routes Using GO TO.”) A
temporary waypoint typically does not have a name or specific symbol. Temporary waypoints are
retained in memory even after power is turned off or disconnected. All temporary waypoints are
cleared when the CLEAR key is depressed for three seconds.nmThe NS 10 memory can hold up
to 99 temporary waypoints. (You may change temporary waypoints to permanent waypoints.
Refer to section 1V, “Creating Permanent Waypoints.”)
There are two ways to create temporary waypoints.
1. Using P STOR to save your present position, and
2. Using the cursor with P STOR to save the position of the cursor.
