How do I change the chart orientation?
The orientation of the chart refers to the relationship between the chart and the direction you are travelling in. It is used in conjunction with motion mode (see below) to control how your boat and chart relate to one another and how they are displayed on screen. The default mode is North Up (N-UP). This displays your chart with true north upwards. As your heading changes the boat symbol moves accordingly.
If desired, you can change the orientation mode to:
Head Up (H-Up) - displays chart with boat's current heading upwards. As heading changes, boat symbol remains fixed
Course Up (C-Up) - chart picture stabilized, current course upwards. Boat symbol moves as heading changes.
To change the orientation mode:
Toggle as required
How do I change how my boat moves on the chart?
How your boat moves on the screen is referred to as the motion mode. The default setting for the chart is Relative Motion. This means that your boat is fixed on the screen and the chart moves relative to your boat i.e.
If desired, you can change the motion mode to:
True (TM) - the chart is fixed and the boat moves in true perspective to fixed landmasses on the screen.
Autorange (AR) - selects and maintains the largest possible scale of chart that will display both the boat and the target waypoint This option is not available when radar/chart symchronization is ON.
Basic Navigation
Working with Waypoints
Card No. 11
What is a waypoint?
A waypoint is a position marked on a chart, radar or fishfinder screen to indicate a site (for fishing, diving etc), or as a position to go to. You can place a waypoint at the cursor or your boat's position or at a specified position. Waypoints are represented in chart or radar applications as an 'X' (default) and by a vertical line labeled WPT in Fishfinder. Active waypoints are displayed on 3D Chart and CDI windows. The details of each waypoint are stored in a waypoint list. Waypoints can be renamed, edited, grouped, or erased, as necessary. To make full use of waypoint features, ensure your display is receiving heading and position data. We recommend that you regularly back-up your waypoints by archiving them to a CompactFlash card. Waypoints can also be transferred to another NMEA compatible instrument.
Networked systems
If you have networked two or more E-Series Displays, the waypoints are stored on the master display and transferred to other displays via the SeaTalk High Speed network.

connection
Typically your boat's position is at the centre of the display, and its dead ahead bearing is indicated by a vertical heading line, known as the Ship's Heading Marker (SHM).
Remember that the radar picture may vary from visual observations that you make; a nearby small object may appear the same size on the screen as a distant large object. However, with experience the approximate size of different objects can be determined by the relative size and brightness of the echoes.
How do I measure distances, ranges and bearings with the radar?
VRMs
Align a VRM on a target to display its range from your boat:
Combined VRM/EBL
Combine a VRM and EBL to measure range and bearing of specified target.
e.g.
EBLs
Align an EBL on a target to display its bearing relative to your boat's heading:
Rings 1/2nm Range rings
Use the range rings to gauge the approximate distances between two points or from your boat.
Note: Range/bearing also displayed when VRM/EBL selected with the cursor.

Using MARPA....
Card No. 15
What is MARPA?
Mini Automatic Radar Plotting Aid (MARPA) functions are used for target tracking and risk analysis. MARPA improves your standards of collision avoidance by obtaining detailed information for up to 10 targets, and provides continuous and rapid situation evaluation.
MARPA tracks the selected targets and calculates target bearing, range, true speed, course, Closest Point of Approach (CPA), and Time to Closest Point of Approach (TCPA). Each tracked target can be displayed with a CPA graphic depicting the approximate target speed (vector length) and course (vector direction). Alternatively, move the cursor over the target to display the range and CPA. You can now access bearing and speed. Each target is continually assessed. An alarm sounds if a target becomes dangerous or lost.
NOTE: For MARPA to operate, fast heading data is required.

Monitoring a course....
Card No. 17
How do I monitor my course?....
Your course is shown on the chart application whilst motion mode is active.
Using COG and heading vectors (Press DATA - CHART VECTORS - COG/HDG VECTORS).
Use the Course Deviation Indicator (CDI). With your display receiving accurate heading and position information, you can monitor your course and accurately steer to a target waypoint.
What does the CDI show me?....
The CDI gives a graphical representation of your boat's course. This 'rolling road' format represents a width of sea equal to the Cross Track Error (XTE) limits that you have specified in the Setup menu. As you travel towards the target waypoint, the checkered pattern moves down the screen to simulate movement at a rate proportional to your boat's speed.
What do the steering instructions tell me?

Operating a networked E-Series Display
Card No. 23
What does a networked system do?
If you have connected two or more E-Series Displays (via either a crossover coupler or SeaTalk High Speed Switch), all system data (from NMEA 0183, SeaTalk, SeaTalk2, NMEA 2000, SeaTalkhs waypoints, routes etc) can be transferred across the network enabling you to input, view and maintain data across all your displays irrespective of the Display from which the data originated (excepting Video Input).
How is the network controlled?
The display that has been installed and nominated as the master, should always be switched on (preferably first). The master display maintains the waypoint, route and track lists as well as data from NMEA and SeaTalk. Each time the master display detects a change on any display e.g. waypoint, route or track added or edited, the data is copied to the database which in turn is copied to all other Displays that are switched on.
If the system does not detect a master, either because it is not switched on or because a master has not been selected, an alarm will sound and you will be prompted to set a master display.
