Magellan NAV 600022
Plotter Mode
Plotter mode allows you to go where your chart does not pro-
vide detailed navigation information by displaying a LAT/
LON grid without background cartography.
Though you can use this feature to plot and
retrace your course conveniently using coordinates
alone, EXTREME CAUTION IS REQUIRED
when using the Plotter Mode. The Plotter Mode
should never be used as a sole means of navigation.
Paper charts are required.
Plotter mode can be turned on and off under the Chart Set-
tings of Map Configuration. With Plotter mode on, if a car-
tridge is not installed, zooming into a scale not supported by
the built-in map activates the Plotter mode and the word Scale
in the NAV window is replaced by TrkPlt. If a cartridge is
installed, zooming into a scale not supported by either the
cartridge or the internal map also activates the Plotter mode.
The LAT/LON grid and label are turned on automatically,
even if they are off in the Map Configuration. The Plotter
Mode then plots the route you are traveling on a grid show-
ing coordinates, without background cartography. A north
arrow indicates the direction of north when Track Up or
Course Up modes are selected.
With Plotter mode off, when you zoom into or near the low-
est scale available in the cartridge, as the cursor pans over the
map, you will notice that the plotter zooms out automatically
when you reach an area not covered by the detailed cartogra-
phy on the C-card. This feature is designed to keep cartogra-
phy displayed in the background even if you “run off the edge.”
Panning into an area not covered by the C-card causes the
unit to zoom out to the lowest scale for which a chart is avail-
able.
When the track plot mode is entered, the following warning
is given for two seconds when entering Track Plot mode:
