3.1.3 Highway display
The highway display, shown in combination displays, provides a graphic
presentation of ship’s track along intended course. It is useful for monitoring
ship’s progress toward a waypoint. The own ship marker shows the relation
between ship and intended course. The XTE monitor shows the direction and
amount your vessel is off course – the arrow shows the direction to steer to
return to your course and the numeric the distance you are off course. Using the
figure below as an example, you would steer right 0.009 nm to return to course.
To maintain course, steer the vessel so the own ship marker stays aligned with
the intended course line.
