UPDATE AVERAGING
Default setting: fast

a course and position update once per second. With a medium setting, the information is updated every three seconds, with speed and heading information over the last 3 seconds being averaged. The slow setting has a 5 second update and averaging. Selecting MEDIUM or SLOW are more appropriate for long trips, or a slow moving boat where the position of the boat does not change as quickly.
