Local Time Offset

Lets you use local time (instead of UTC time). Enter time

Geodetic Datum

Note: Geodetic Datum is a reference for geodetic survey

See Appendix for full

WGS-84

 

measurements consisting of fixed latitude, longitude and

list.

 

 

azimuth values associated with a defined station of

 

 

 

reference. You must have the correct Geodetic Datum

 

 

 

selected in your plotter so that it will reference the correct

 

 

 

point on the chart for a given lat / lon. Although WGS-84

 

 

 

is now the world standard, other categories of charts still

 

 

 

exist. refer to Appendix for a full list of geodetic datum.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Position Smoothing

When the DOP or receiving condition is unfavorable, the

0-999 sec

0 sec (no position

 

GPS fix may change greatly, even if the vessel is not

 

smoothing)

 

moving in water. This change can be reduced by

 

 

 

smoothing the raw GPS fixes. A setting between 000 to

 

 

 

999 is available. The higher the setting, the more

 

 

 

smoothed the raw data. If the setting is too high, the

 

 

 

response time required to show a change of Lat and LON

 

 

 

will be too long. this is especially noticeable if the vessel

 

 

 

is moving fast. This is especially noticeable at high ship’

 

 

 

speeds. Increase the setting to increase the amount of

 

 

 

averaging applied to the GPS fix.
