  1. Chart Relative motionBoat positionRelative motion — Relative Motion mode fixes your vessel’s icon position and the chart image moves relative to your vessel. In Relative Motion mode you can use the Boat position setting to determine whether the vessel is fixed in the Center of the chart display or has a Partial offset, or Full offset. Selecting the partial or full offset has the effect of increasing the view ahead of your vessel icon on the chart display.
