shows the current course over ground to the next
waypoint of the leg.
The relative position of the waypoint is shown as a
circle. The name of the waypoint, the bearing to
waypoint (BTW) and distance to waypoint (DTW)
information are also displayed. The position of this
information depends on the direction of the vessel.
depth
Available when a Depth sensor is part of the system.
Depth is clearly shown in figures in the top half of the
screen.
The histogram in the lower half the screen gives an
impression of the profile of the seabed.
