8.4 Monitoring the course
With RayTech receiving accurate heading and position information, you
can use the Course Deviation Indicator (CDI) - see “CDI monitor” on
page 70 to monitor your course and accurately steer to a target waypoint.
The CDI gives a graphical representation of your boat’s course in a ‘rolling
road’ format.The symbol for your boat is shown on the centerline when the
boat is on course, with steering instructions for maintaining your course
shown just above the screen horizon.
As you travel towards the target waypoint, the grid representing the sea,
will move down the screen at a rate proportional to your boat’s speed.
