Chapter 4: Setting Up the GPS Plotter

4.1 Introduction

When you have installed your system and are familiar with its basic operation, you may wish to set it up to operate according to your requirements and display information according to your preferences.

This is achieved using the Set Up controls which are displayed when you press the MENU key. These settings can be changed at any time.

When you have set your preferences, they are retained until you reset them; they are retained even when the unit is powered off.

This chapter provides instructions for displaying and changing the factory default values to your preferences.

The set up parameters are divided into four sections:

System, controlling overall functionality.

Plotter, controlling the plotting functions, including waypoint infor- mation and vectors.

Track, detailed in Using Tracks on page 3-41.

GPS, displaying the GPS Navigation Status, selecting the GPS Fix Mode or setting up a Differential GPS (DGPS).

The following sections list the parameters, their possible settings and describe the function of each parameter in turn.
