4.4Track Plotting Method, Interval

In drawing the track, first the ship’s position (fed from the DGPS/GPS receiver) is stored into the unit’s memory at an interval of time or distance. A shorter interval provides bet- ter reconstruction of the track, but the stor- age time of the track is reduced. When the track memory becomes full, the oldest track is erased to make room for the latest.
