5.4Changing Track Plotting Interval

In drawing the track, first the ship's position (fed from the GPS plotter) is stored into this unit's memory at an interval of time, distance or automatic recording. (The default setting is l0 minutes.) A shorter interval provides bet- ter reconstruction of the track, but the storage time of the track is reduced. When the track memory becomes full, the oldest track is erased to make room for the latest.

1.Press the MENU key.

2.Press the [2] key to select TRACK/ MARK SETUP.

3.Operate the Cursor Pad to select PLOT INTVL.

4.Operate the Cursor Pad to select interval desired; AUTO, TIME or DIST on the PLOT INTVL line.

TIME: Plots ship's track at desired time interval, from 0 to 99 min 59 sec.

DIST: Plots ship's track only when the boat is moving, thus no track is saved to the memory when your boat is dead in water.

AUTO: Changes with chart scale auto- matically.

5.For time or distance, enter interval de- sired.

6.Press the MENU key to close the menu.

5.5 Smoothing Track

Even when the vessel is sailing a straight line the track shown on the display looks crooked. This is due to signal variation. To smooth out this irregularity, change the smoothing factor.
