Data Log
The GPS Plotter can be set to log passage data every 30 minutes. Up to 48 log entries are held. When 48 entries have been saved, the first entries start being overwritten.
If the number of log entries exceeds the table size, use the trackpad up/down to scroll the list and view further log entries. Each line in the log shows:
•Time of log entry
•Position at time of log entry
•Course Made Good (CMG) since last log entry
•Distance Made Good (DMG) since last log entry
You can stop the log at any time and you can clear the log from memory.
