Information
The boundary of each chart digitized in the current card is defined by a box or
rectangle. (You can switch off the chart boundaries display if you wish, as part
of the chartplotter set up described in Section 7.7.)
➤ To zoom in:
1. Use the trackpad to move the cursor inside one of the chart boxes, and press
the lower part of the
RANGE key.
That area is expanded, with the cursor at the centre, so that you can see
more detail. Note that the smaller the chart box is on the screen, the further
you can zoom in and the greater the amount of detail that is available.
If you have switched on Plotter Mode (see Section 7.7), you can zoom in
further than the most detailed chart; all chart functions remain available.
