Using the Map Cursor

Working from the Map Page is a simple process that centers around the use of the

cursor. Controlled by the

keypad, the cursor is an important tool that can be

used to pan to other map locations, mark and edit waypoints and routes, and review

position data of on-screen navaids and waypoints.

To get a feel for using the Map Page and using the cursor, try the following

exercise:

1. Use the C key to set the map scale to the 64 nm setting. Your boat should be near the

center of the map, at the receivers last known position (if your boat isnt where it should be,

make sure that you have initialized the receiver and acquired a position as described on

pages 1-2).

2. Use the DOWN arrow of the

keypad to move the cursor down to the first lat/lon grid

south of your boats position.

3. Using the

keypad to move the cursor, try following the outline of the lat/lon grid closest

to your boat. Notice how another data field appears at the top of the page, showing the

bearing and distance from your boat to the cursor, along with the lat/lon of the cursor.

4. Press the

key to remove the cursor and recenter your boat on the map display.

As you become more familiar with the cursor, youll see that the map display

actively scrolls or pans, letting you explore areas around the world (even outside

of your current G-chart

coverage) and create waypoints and routes. Wherever you

move the cursor, pressing

once will return the map to your present position.

Now that you have a feel for how the cursor works, lets move on and see how the

GPSMAP 180 works on the water. To help you practice using the Map Page and

other features, weve stored a practice route in the receivers permanent memory, so

you can see exactly what youll experience when youre navigating with your new

GPS chartplotter.
