the 941X, or may be calculated by the 941X from the GPS position coor-
dinates.)
The position plotter screen is a “north-up” display, and provides an over-
all view of the surrounding area and all nearby waypoints. Press the
POSITION
key to show your position plotted relative to your current
route (if any), your track history, and any nearby waypoints and avoid-
ance points.
A maximum of 30 local waypoints can be displayed on the plotter screen
at one time.
