The cursor assist function The cursor assist function allows for fine tuning and precision placement of the cursor without covering details with your finger. Activate the cursor on the panel, then press and hold your finger on the screen to switch the cursor symbol to a selection circle, appearing above your finger. Without removing your finger from the screen, drag the selection circle to the desired position. When you remove your finger from the screen the cursor reverts to normal cursor operation. Measuring distance The cursor can be used to measure the distance between your vessel and a selected position, or between 2 points on the chart panel. 1. Position the cursor on the point where you want to measure the distance to. Start the measure function from the menu - The measuring icons appear with a line drawn from the vessel center to the cursor position, and the distance is listed in the cursor information window. 2. The measuring points can be repositioned by dragging either icon while the measuring function is active. Ú Note: The bearing is always measured from the grey icon to the blue icon. The start measuring function can also be started without an active cursor. Both measuring icons are then initially located at the vessel position. The grey icon follows the vessel as the vessel moves, while the blue icon remains at the position given when you activated the function. The measuring points can then be repositioned by dragging either icon. Terminate the measuring function by selecting the finish measuring menu option or by pressing the exit key. Find objects on chart panels You can search for other vessels or various chart items from a chart panel. Charts | HDS Live Operator Manual 35
