Cortex® Instrument View Customization

The Cortex® has several user-friendly options to customize how sensor data displays on the instrument view. These can be tailored to each handset, as different locations (cockpit or nav. stations) on the vessel may require specific information.

To utilize this function, start from the main menu screen by Highlighting or tapping on the Instruments Icon.
