Patent Images
1. A method, comprising:
- receiving marine electronics data at a marine electronics device disposed on a vessel;
receiving a navigational location;
calculating a plurality of laylines based on the navigational location and the marine electronics data, wherein the plurality of laylines comprise a starboard layline and a port layline; and
displaying a vessel marker representing the vessel, a compass scale, the laylines, and one or more layline histories on a display screen of the marine electronics device, wherein the vessel marker, the compass scale, and the laylines are integrated on the display screen, and wherein the laylines and the one or more layline histories extend from the vessel marker.

Abstract
Various implementations described herein are directed to displaying laylines. In one implementation, a method may include receiving marine electronics data at a marine electronics device disposed on a vessel. The method may also include receiving a navigational location. The method may further include calculating one or more laylines based on the navigational location and the marine electronics data. The method may additionally include displaying a vessel marker representing the vessel, a compass scale, and the one or more laylines on a display screen of the marine electronics device, where the vessel marker, the compass scale, and the one or more laylines are integrated on the display screen.

7. A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon a plurality of computer-executable instructions which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to:
-
receive marine electronics data at a marine electronics device disposed on a vessel; receive a navigational location; calculate a plurality of laylines based on the navigational location and the marine electronics data; and display a vessel marker representing the vessel, a compass scale, the laylines, and one or more layline histories on a display screen of the marine electronics device, wherein; the vessel marker, the compass scale, and the laylines are integrated on the display screen; the laylines and the one or more layline histories extend from the vessel marker; and the one or more layline histories comprise a shaded area representing a lowest and a highest bearing for the laylines over a most recent period of time. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. An apparatus for displaying marine electronics data, said apparatus comprising:
-
one or more processors; a display screen configured to display the marine electronics data; memory having a plurality of executable instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to; receive the marine electronics data at a marine electronics device disposed on a vessel; receive a navigational location; calculate a plurality of laylines based on the navigational location and the marine electronics data; and display a vessel marker representing the vessel, a compass scale, a heading indicator which indicates a heading of the vessel, a true wind indicator which displays an angle and a direction of wind relative to the vessel marker, the laylines, and one or more layline histories on a display screen of the marine electronics device, wherein; the vessel marker, the compass scale, the heading indicator, the true wind indicator, and the laylines are integrated on the display screen; and the laylines and the one or more layline histories extend from the vessel marker. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)
