Chapter 4: Using the Chart 91 How can I use tracks? Tracks can be used to: • Review where you have been. • Retrace your original journey by converting the track to a route and automatically reversing it. If required, a track can be personalized and the track options customized to your own particular needs. You can: • • • • Rename a track. Change the color of a track. Specify the time period between track point creation (see page 103). Specify the distance between each track point (see page 103).
92 E Series Networked Display Reference Manual Creating a route from a track Creating a route from a track enables you to retrace the course of that track. When a track is converted the system creates the closest route through the recorded track, using the minimum number of waypoints. Each waypoint created will be saved with the depth and temperature data (if applicable) for that position.
Chapter 4: Using the Chart 93 ...from a saved track You can create a route from a track that you have already saved: To name the route CREATE ROUTE FROM TRACK… TRACK Route generated and dialog box displayed Position cursor over track YES Or: NO To accept default (numbered) D8368_1 Route generation completed.

Chapter 4: Using the Chart 95 4.17 Defining how the chart windows are presented Each chart window can be tailored to meet your particular needs. You can: • Set the chart view for individual windows or system wide (see below). • Change how the chart is orientated (see page 96). • Change the way your chart is drawn in relation to your boat movement (see page 97).
96 E Series Networked Display Reference Manual Setting the orientation of the chart The orientation of a chart refers to the relationship between the chart and the direction that you are travelling in. It is used in conjunction with motion mode (see page 97) to control how your boat and chart relate to one another and how they are displayed on screen. The mode that you choose is restored at power up.
Chapter 4: Using the Chart 97 Setting the motion mode The motion mode controls the relationship between the chart and your boat. Whilst motion mode is active, as your boat moves, the chart is redrawn to keep the boat on screen. The three motion modes are: • Relative motion. • True motion. • Autorange. When you pan the chart or toggle FIND SHIP/CURSOR to CURSOR, the motion mode is suspended.
98 E Series Networked Display Reference Manual True motion (TM) D6840_2 In the following example the motion mode has been set to Relative with a vessel offset of 1/3. The boat is fixed in the offset position and the chart moves accordingly: When the motion mode is set to True, the chart is fixed and the boat moves in true perspective to fixed landmasses on the screen. As the boat’s position approaches the edge of the screen, the chart picture is automatically reset to reveal the area ahead of the boat.
Chapter 4: Using the Chart 99 Range rings Range rings give you an incremental representation of distance from your vessel to help you judge distances at a glance.
