ROTATING CHARTS ON THE CHART SCREEN

The 952’s chart-rotation feature lets you change the angle of

charts that are displayed on the CHART screen. You can turn

charts to any one of the following angles:

☛North up -You’ll see north pointing straight upwards (the

chart isn’t turned).

☛Course-up -You’ll see your vessel’s current direction of

travel—whatever that direction is—pointing straight upwards.

Course-up represents your true course over the last few

seconds as determined by the GPS receiver. The 952 ignores

any course changes if your speed is under half a knot. The

chart will rotate sooner for large turns than for small ones.

☛Leg-up -You’ll see your vessel’s current leg to a waypoint—

whatever direction that is—pointing straight upwards. The

952 will adjust the chart on a leg-by-leg basis, so the chart

turns accordingly whenever you start navigating on a new

leg, even if you haven’t turned the vessel yet. Exception: If

you select leg-up when you aren’t currently navigating, the

952 automatically uses course-up—until you start navigating

along another leg.

If you’re viewing course-up or leg-up, the text from the

Navionics cartridge is tilted to match the rotation angle in order

to avoid text overlap.

CHANGING THE ROTATION SETTING

To change the chart rotation setting:

❶ Press the key to display the CHART screen.

❷ Press the CHART SETUP key to display the CHART SETUP/

STATUS screen.

❸ Press the ROTATION IS key to select among the three

choices:

• rotation is north up

• rotation is course up

• rotation is leg up

❹ When you see the desired choice, press the RETURN key to

display your choice on the CHART screen.

UNDERSTANDING THE ROTATED SCREENS

The following three screens show how the chart looks if you’re

travelling along a sample route that has four waypoints, and you

rotate the chart from north-up to course-up and then to leg-up.

Figure 1: North-up chart angle (first leg going northwest)

Figure 1 shows the vessel heading northwest on the first leg from

the first waypoint to the second one. The chart’s viewing angle is

set to north-up. Notice the direction of the north-pointing arrow

in the upper right corner.

Figure 2: Course-up chart angle (second leg going east)

Figure 2 shows the same chart, but with the chart’s viewing

angle now set to course-up and the vessel on a slightly different

course than the second route leg. Notice the new direction of the

north-pointing arrow.

Figure 3: Leg-up chart angle (third leg going south)

Figure 3 shows the same chart, but with the chart’s viewing

angle now set to leg-up and the vessel on a different course than

the third leg. Notice the new direction of the north-pointing

arrow.

USING CHART ROTATION WHILE BROWSING

• Course-up - If you’re displaying the charts as course-up and

you go into browse mode (by pressing the CURSOR PAD), if

your vessel changes course, you won’t see the chart turn to

the new direction until you fully return to vessel mode (by

pressing the VESSEL key). You must be in vessel mode to

see any changed course angle. This feature lets you keep a

steady viewing angle if you’re browsing around on the chart.

•Leg-up - If you’re displaying charts as leg-up and the 952

switches to a new leg, you’ll see the chart rotate to the

direction of that new leg even in browse mode—unless

you’re actively pressing the CURSOR PAD.

OTHER NOTES

• If you’re displaying the charts as either leg-up or course-up,

you may see a black line with white space on the other side.

This line represents the edge of the chart, which is visible

since the chart has been rotated. When the vessel or cursor

crosses the line, the display will switch to a new chart.

• In software version 4.02 and later, the edges of other charts

in the 952’s built-in world atlas are shown, in addition to

those in your local cartridge. These edges are shown as

black or red dashed lines.

• The lat/lon grid will be labelled only when the chart is

north-up.
