Standard Horizon CP 300

[mcalan]

I have a standard Horizon CP 300 chart plotter. I'm still getting to grips with all the functions but generally I'm really pleased with it. One thing I have yet failed to work out how to make the map move with the boats position. At this moment in time I keep having to adjust the position of the map using the toggle. I would Find it much more useful if the map auto centred itself. If anyone knows how to do adjust the map to autocentering I would be grateful.

Thanks

On the CP180 you just press CLR.

Thanks I was hoping there was a way of setting to do it automatically

On the CP180 you just press CLR.

Pressing CLR twice will get you back from any menu. Just don't move the cursor or press buttons if you want to continue tracking.

As has been said - DONT USE THE TOGGLE!

The moment you touch the toggle it stops auto-tracking. Pressing CLR to get back to the map without the cross hairs

Ah!

See page 33 of the manual.3.1.5.

You need to set 'Course up' this will rotate the map as you change coarse or direction to always show the chart and the way the boats heading, there is also 'North up' this will again rotate the map to always show 'North up'

I suggest you put it as I have and leave mine on 'Coarse up' which I find is the easiest to understand at a quick glance!

Unrelated. The solution has been given several times: the CLR button.

Sorry It is totally related.

The original poster wants the chart to move 'automatically' on the 300i in the 'Course up' mode it does exactly that without even touching
the CLR button.

And in North up, so NOT related.

Yuk .... I hated that when tried on our cp180 .... Far better to have north up then you can see at a glance what direction you're heading ...

Anyway, as has already been said - CLR twice and leave the toggle and the chart will follow your position ...

Did you get that idea from watching your wife map read in the car ?
