can be toggled on/off from within “Display Mode” options in the Main
Menu, see section 5.2.
WARNING
The coastline map is a visual aid to assist with orientation
and range. It is not a marine chart and must not be used
as a substitute for accurate charting.
When the coastline detail is turned off the display will turn a light shade of
green which should not be confused with land mass, Fig. 6.3a and Fig. 6.3b.
6.6 Cursor
The cursor is the intersecting horizontal and vertical lines on the display,
which appear whenever the 8-way NavPad is used. It automatically times
out after approximately 30 seconds of inactivity.
A single press of any cursor keys will move it by 1 pixel in the direction
of that key. Press and holding the cursor key will allow it to accelerate
and move rapidly across the screen.
6.7 Transmit Legend
This is a small circle situated in the bottom right hand corner of the
display, and informs the user about the transceiver status.
When the AI50 starts to transmit your vessels data, the transmit legend
will turn green for 1 second. If there is an internal fault it will turn red,
with an indication of the fault, all other times it will be white.
6.8 Vessel Information
The AI50 is able to view information from any AIS equipped vessel in
