| the raw GPS fixes. A setting between 000 to 999 is available. The higher | |
| setting the more smoothed the raw data, however too high a setting | |
| slows response time to change in latitude and longitude. This is | |
| especially noticeable at high ship’s speeds. Increase the setting if the | |
| GPS fix changes. | |
|
| |
| During position fixing, ship’s velocity (speed and course) is directly | |
| measured by receiving GPS satellite signals. The raw velocity data may | |
| change randomly depending on receiving conditions and other factors. | |
SOG/COG | You can reduce this random variation by increasing the smoothing. Like | |
Smoothing | with latitude and longitude smoothing, the higher the speed and course | |
| smoothing the more smoothed the raw data. If the setting is too high, | |
| however, the response to speed and course change slows. For no | |
| smoothing, enter all zeroes. | |

| Every GPS satellite is broadcasting abnormal satellite number(s) in its | |
| Almanac, which contains general orbital data about all GPS satellites, | |
| including those which are malfunctioning. Using this information, the | |
Disable | GPS receiver automatically eliminates any malfunctioning satellite from | |
Satellite | the GPS satellite schedule. However, the Almanac sometimes may not | |
| contain this information. If you hear about a malfunctioning satellite from | |
| another source, you can disable it manually. Enter satellite number | |
| (max. 3 satellites) in two digits. | |
