➤To set up your position report:

1.Click on the File menu and select Get Weather from the Internet. The RayTech Internet Weather window appears.

2.Click the Advanced button of the E-Mail Request tab to set up position reporting and advanced weather services.

3.Find the Automatic Position Report section under advanced setup.

4.In the Send To field, enter the address to which you would like the posi- tion report sent. If there is more than one address you want to send to, enter all of them, separated by commas.

5.In the Frequency drop down box, select how often a position report will be sent. Standard intervals range between 1 and 24 hours.

6.In the Boat name field, enter the name, call sign, or other identification for your vessel.

7.Send a position report immediately by clicking the Send Now button.

For the automated position (and weather) functions to operate, you leave the Internet Weather application and your e-mail client open. At the interval specified, a new position report is generated, and passed to the e-mail client’s outbox for transmission.

If your e-mail system is not automatic, the position report will remain in the outbox until you reconnect to your e-mail. At that time, any outgoing traffic is sent and any incoming reports or weather files are received.

Auto Processing of Incoming Position Reports and Weather

RayTech Navigator 4.1 can automatically process, decode and plot incoming position reports and GRIB weather overlays from your e-mail inbox. To do this, you must make sure the RayTech Internet Weather application and your e-mail client are running.

It may be beneficial to add shortcuts to the weather and e-mail programs to your Windows ‘Startup’ group, ensuring that they run every time the PC is rebooted. The setup for this feature is located within the Advanced weather dialog, outlined in the preceding section Position Reporting.

To schedule RayTech to automatically check the e-mail inbox for new message traffic, specify a time interval in the Frequency drop-box, located under the Automatically Send Files section.

Other Vessel Tracking

The Other Vessel Tracking feature has been enhanced to enable you to delete the schedule of any tracked vessel and filter entries by boat name and by time.
