Default Cursor is square, not round

Haven't been able to figure this out. The manuals always show the moveable cursor on the Nav screen as round, with cross hatches. But my cursor is square, with cross hatches. Is there someting in the settings that was set up wrong, or is there another explanation? Thanks

Probably an error in the manual. My cursor is also square. The manual was probably written before a final decision was made on the shape of the cursor in the software.

If you have a square cursor, you have the weapons, er, navigation system in targeting mode. Suggest you reset to navigation mode before you turn your POI into a smoking hole in the ground.

Yes, this mode worked well on my neighbor's house.

I think the shape of the cursor was made to match the shape of the input device on the center console.
