9.8 POSITION REQUEST

Advancements in DSC have made it possible to poll the location of another vessel and show the position of that vessel on the display of the GX3000E. Standard Horizon has taken this feature one step further, if any Standard Hori- zon GPS is connected to the GX3000E, the polled position of the vessel is shown on the display of the GPS chart plotter making it easy to navigate to the location of the polled vessel. This is a great feature for anyone wanting to know the position of another vessel. For example your friend that is catching fish, or finding the location of a person you are cruising with.

NOTE

The other vessel must have an operating GPS receiver connected to its DSC transceiver and must not have its transceiver set to deny position requests. (Refer the section “9.5.1 Setting up the Individual / Position Call Directory” to enter information into the individual directory).

The GX3000E can be set up to automatically or manually send your position to another vessel.

In the manual mode you will see the MMSI or persons name shown on the display allowing you to choose to send your position to the requesting vessel.
