GPS Diagnostic View shows a sky chart and numerical data from the GPS receiver. The sky chart shows the location of each visible GPS satellite with its satellite number and a signal strength bar. A dark grey bar indicates that the satellite is being used to determine your current position. A light gray bar indicates that the satellite is being monitored, but is not yet being used.

GPS Diagnostic View

This view also reports the current position, local time and date, and other numeric information. The current GPS Fix Type is reported as No Fix, 2D Fix, 3D Fix, or Enhanced. An Enhanced fix has been augmented using information from WAAS, EGNOS, or MSAS. A 3D or Enhanced Fix is required for navigation. HDOP (the Horizontal Dilution of Precision) is a GPS system parameter which depends on the current satellite configuration. It is translated into Estimated Position Error, which gives an estimate of how far the reported position can be from your actual location. Depending on current conditions, the reported position is within the Estimated Position Error of your actual location with 68% probability.

In Normal mode, the GPS Diagnostic View is normally hidden, but can be viewed as an Advanced feature. To make this view visible, go to the Setup Tab, set the User Mode to Advanced, choose Select Views, and change the GPS Diagnostic View selection to Visible. After this, the GPS Diagnostic View will become part of the view rotation accessed through the VIEW key. See System Start-Up and Installation Confirmation for more information about how to use this view.

In the Chart or Combo Views, there are several cartography-related functions that you can access using various keys.

 

Panning – Use the 4-Way Cursor keys to move the

key being pressed. When you do this, a bullseye

 

cursor is drawn at the center of the screen and

 

is linked to the boat by a gray line, even if the

 

boat is off the screen. At the same time, the

 

temperature and speed boxes in the lower left

 

corner are replaced with the distance and bearing

 

from the boat to the cursor position and the

 

latitude/longitude coordinates of the cursor.

Chart View with Cursor Present

Zooming - Use the Plus (+) key to Zoom In and the Minus (-) key to Zoom Out showing the cartography at different scales. The scale is indicated on the left side of the display. If you zoom in beyond the available chart data, the display will go into Overzoom mode whereby the last available chart data is amplified to reflect the scale selected.

Chart Info - Use the INFO key to get detailed information about the chart. If the cursor is active, you will see information about the chart objects located near the cursor. If the cursor is not active, the Chart Info menu will appear. You can select the nearest port, the nearest tide station, or the nearest current station to see information about any of these objects.

Nearest Port – The position and services information for the nearest port to your present position will be displayed. Press the EXIT key to remove the information box and the cursor bull’s eye will be centered over the port position. The cursor information boxes at the bottom of the display will indicate the distance and bearing to the port from your present position.

Nearest Tide Station – Tide information for the nearest tide station to your present position will be displayed. This includes the position of the station, the date used for determining the tide information, and the times of the high and low tides for that date. A tide graph is also displayed showing the rise and fall of the tides for the 24
