The
central navigation multifunction display mode:
The
central navigation mode or multifunction screen is a particular display mode
particularly suited to navigation software. In this mode the program does not
use the traditional management of windows under Windows but manages the entire
screen. Your computer screen becomes a kind of dashboard with the display of all
the boat's navigation instruments in small independent and contrasting windows
for good visibility.
At sea you are not always comfortably installed in
front of your computer. It is not always easy to use a mouse to point to a small
button which will open a list then a dialog box to confirm your choice etc. We
are not in a favorable configuration for the use of 'a computer but rather a
navigation instrument with large, perfectly accessible buttons that do not
require precision. They can be used with a mouse without the need for great
precision, with a trackball or a touch screen whether it is the main screen, a
remote screen or a touch pad. Only the functions useful for navigation are
accessible, which prevents errors.
With this display mode you forget the
computer, you concentrate on the
navigation.
