Addendum P/N GM1709 10/15/00

Software version 2.6 enhancements

This section describes several software enhancements made in

upgrading the 961/962 software version 2.5 to software version

2.6.

Changing the chart screen’s orientation

You can now change the display of charts on the 961/962

&+$57 screen to any of the following viewing angles, regardless

of their original paper orientation:

•CHART-up (This is the orientation of the original paper

chart. Previous software versions always used a Chart-up

orientation.)

•COURSE-up (This is the orientation of your true course

during the last few seconds, as determined by the 961/962’s

GPS receiver.)

•LEG-up (This is the orientation of your desired track when

navigating, on a leg-by-leg basis, which provides a more

stable display than Course-up.)

•NORTH-up (This usually is the same as Chart-up, but rotates

any charts that were originally skewed to fit a particular

coastline or harbor, so that true north is up on the CHART

screen.)

Once you set the desired chart orientation, the 961/962 automat-

ically adjusts the orientation angle as needed, according to the

currently viewed chart, or the course, or the trip leg. However,

whenever you’ve displayed the cursor on the CHART screen, in

order to retain precise positioning with the , the

961/962 temporarily inhibits any of these automatic changes in

the orientation angle. This does not mean that the chart-orienta-

tion feature isn’t working. To re-enable any changes in

orientation, simply press the  key to remove the cursor

from the CHART screen. 

When you rotate a chart by changing its orientation, all of the

original paper-chart information, such as labels of geographic

features and depth readings, are rotated along with the chart.

Also rotated with the chart are routes, tracks, the trip, and

currents stations’ directional arrows. Waypoint icons, and

waypoint and route names, are shown right side up. Only the

961/962 CHART screen is turned by the chart-orientation setting;

a change in chart orientation doesn’t affect any other 961/962

screens, and regardless of the chart-orientation setting, the 961/

962 always displays its plotter grid in the North-up direction.

The three sample screens that follow show how the 961/962

rotates a chart, when you change its orientation from North-up

to Course-up, by illustrating two different legs in a trip.

Figure 1: North-up chart orientation #1

Figure 1 shows a chart with its orientation set to North-up (see the

North-pointing directional arrow in the upper-right hand corner).

The vessel is on a course line to the MOUNTPNT waypoint.

Figure 2: North-up chart orientation #2

Figure 2 above shows the same chart, with its orientation still

set to North-up, but the vessel is now navigating along the

second trip leg towards the GREATVIEW waypoint, in a

southeasterly direction.

Figure 3: Course-up chart orientation

Figure 3 above shows this same chart with its orientation

now set to Course-up (see the North-pointing directional

arrow in the upper right-hand corner). The vessel is still navi-

gating along the same trip leg, in a southeasterly direction to

the GREATVIEW waypoint.

10/15/00 Addendum P/N GM1709

NOTE:

If you now change the chart’s orientation to Leg-up while on this southeast-

erly leg, the 961/962 would still orient the chart in a similar way as Course-up.

In Leg-up mode, if you then sequence to yet a third leg going in yet another

direction, the 961/962 would automatically rotate the chart accordingly, right

upon sequencing to that next leg, even if you haven’t turned the vessel yet.

To set the chart-orientation option:

1. Press the  key to access the SETUP MENU screen, then

press the key to access the CHART

SETUP screen.

2. Press the   to highlight the CHART ORIENTA-

TION option, then press the  key.

3. Press the   left or right to select the desired

value, then press the  key (or press  to leave

the value unchanged). When you return to the CHART

screen, the 961/962 displays the new orientation on both

View A and B.

Viewing alarm distances in feet, yards, or meters

The ALARMS screen has a new display that shows the cross-track

alarm, arrival radius, and anchor-drag alarm not only with their

original nm, mi, or km settings, but also their equivalent

distances in either yards, feet, or meters. You set these equiva-

lents on the DISPLAY SETUP screen by changing the distance

precision to normal or high. The NORMAL setting for this DIST

PRECISION field will then produce on the ALARMS screen a

display of either yards or meters—for nm/mi or km DIST/SPEED

settings, respectively—and the HIGH setting will produce a display

of either feet or meters—also for nm/mi or km DIST/SPEED

settings, respectively.

Table 2 below illustrates how your settings for DIST/SPEED and

DIST PRECISION on the DISPLAY SETUP screen affect the new

cross-track, arrival radius, and anchor drag setting equivalents on

the ALARMS screen.

Viewing other distances in feet or meters

There are six other screens where you now can display small

distances in either feet or meters. To do so, you must set the 961/

962 distance precision on the DISPLAY SETUP screen to high (if

set to normal, the 961/962 won’t display feet or meters). These

screens include:

•theCHART screen and the CHART screen INFO BAR

•the3-D STEER screen and the traditional STEER screen

•theTRIP screen

•theROUTES screen

On the chart screen

On the CHART screen, when you press the  to view

the distance to the cursor, you now can see this distance

measured in feet or meters, not only in fractions of a mile,

nautical mile, or kilometers.

If you’ve set your distance/speed to miles, the 961/962 will

display the number of feet until the distance to the cursor
