3. PLOTTER OPERATION

Reading the XTE (cross-track error) monitor
The XTE monitor, located below the compass rose, shows the distance you are
off course and the direction to steer to return to course. The own ship marker
moves according to direction and distance off course. It flashes when own ship’s
cross-track error is more than the XTE monitor range. An arrow appears at the
left or right side of the XTE scale and it shows the direction to steer. In the
example on the previous page you would steer right to return to course. To
maintain course, steer the vessel so the own ship marker stays at the center of
the XTE monitor.
