[. . . ] LCX-16CI TM INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS WWW. LOWRANCE. COM Copyright © 2000 Lowrance Electronics, Inc. A CAREFUL NAVIGATOR NEVER RELIES ON ONLY ONE METHOD TO OBTAIN POSITION INFORMATION. CAUTION When showing navigation data to a position (waypoint), this unit will show the shortest, most direct path to the waypoint. It provides navigation data to the waypoint regardless of obstructions. [. . . ] A circle depicting your destination (waypoint) appears on the screen as you approach the waypoint as shown on the screen at right. Travel Time is the time that it will take to reach your destination at your present closing speed. Arrival Time is the local time that it will be when you arrive at the destination, based upon your present closing speed and track. Customizing the Navigation Screen Many of the digital displays can be customized to show different digital data than the defaults shown above. Map There are five different mapping screens: Full Map, Digital Data, Two Position Formats, Two Maps, and Map with Sonar. 34 (Note: Maps must be downloaded from a MapCreateTM CD-ROM onto a MMC. The MMC must be installed into the unit before maps will show on the screen. If your unit came with a MMC, MMC Interface, and CD-ROM, then follow the instructions in the separate booklet. If these items were not included with your unit, then you will need to purchase the accessory pack that includes these items. ) The maps on the CD have the majority of their detail in far southern Canada, the continental United States and Hawaiian islands, northern Mexico, the Bahamas, and Bermuda. The map screens show your course and track from a "bird's-eye" view. If you're navigating to a waypoint, the map shows your starting location, present position, course line, and destination. You don't have to navigate to a waypoint, however, to use the map. Using the map is as simple as pressing the PAGES key, then "Full Map". The arrow flashing in the center of the screen is your present position. The solid line extending from the arrow is your plot trail, or path you've taken. The plotter's range shows in the lower right corner of the screen. In this example, the plotter's range is 4, 000 miles from the left edge of the map to the right. To view the other map screens, press the PAGES key, highlight the MAP label, and press the down arrow key until the desired map screen appears. The "Digital Data" screen has navigation data added to the left side, with the map on the right. The data includes ground speed, closing speed, distance to waypoint, distance off course (cross-track), track, bearing, course, and travel time. 35 "Two Position Formats" is similar to "Digital Data", except it adds two present position boxes, one showing latitude/longitude and the other shows the present position in UTM. "Two Maps" shows two maps side-by-side. For example, the map on the left can have a zoom range of . 5 miles, while the one on the right has a range of 10 miles. This lets you zoom-in on one side, while seeing a much larger area on the other. Press the PAGES key, then an arrow key to select the right or left map. [. . . ] To transfer data from the MMC to the unit, follow the above steps, but select "Load Data". 70 How to Obtain Service (Canadian Customers Only) We back your investment in quality products with quick, expert service and genuine Lowrance replacement parts.
