the arrow.
The arrow shows the direction the boat is
heading
relative to
the
waypoint.
In
theory,
if
you
steerthe boatwith the arrow
always pointing
towards the
waypoint,
then
you
will arrive at the
waypoint.
The solid line
extending
from the
arrow is
your
track or
path you've
taken. To travel
directlyto awaypoint, tryto keepthe
arrow on
the centerline. The
waypoint
is
depicted by
a circle at
the
top
of the CDI
display.
As
you approach
the
waypoint,
the arrow and the boxwill move
closertogether.
If
you
travel
past
the
waypoint,
the
waypoint's
box will move to the boftom
of the
display.
Using
the
digital displays
at the bottom of the
screen with the
graphical
display
at the

let
you accurately
steer the boat
to a

if the arrow is

then
your
