Readouts 4 and 5
Bearing | Bearing is the direction to a destination waypoint measured |
| in degrees from North (i.e. 321°, where 000° is North, 090° |
| East, 180° is South, 270° is West). |
CMG/SMG | Course Made Good/Speed Made Good. |
| Course Made Good is the angle between the starting point |
| on a route and the current position of the boat. The goal is |
| to have CMG and Track equal to the same number. See the |
| Course Made Good illustration. Speed Made Good is the |
| distance from the starting waypoint on the route divided by |
| the time elapsed since starting navigation on the route. |
Off | Suppresses the readout so that no data shows in that position. |
TRK/CMG | Track/Course Made Good. |
| The Track is the desired line of travel between two |
| waypoints, and represents the most efficient path between |
| the two points because it is a straight line. The TRK is |
| measured in degrees. See above for an explanation of |
| Course Made Good. |
TTG | Time To Go. |
| Time To Go is the estimated time required to reach the |
| destination waypoint. TTG is calculated using the SOG and DTG. |
VMG | Velocity Made Good. |
| Velocity Made Good is the speed of travel relative to the next |
| waypoint on the route. The goal is for VMG to equal Speed. |
WPTend/ETA/DTG | Waypoint End/Estimated Time of Arrival/Distance to Go. |
| Waypoint End is the last waypoint on the route. Estimated |
| Time of Arrival is the estimated time of arrival to the last |
| waypoint on the route. Distance To Go is the distance |
| between the current position of the boat and the last |
| waypoint on the route. |
