a. In Home mode the GPS Chart Plotter centers the location of the vessel in the center

 

of the display. To keep the vessel in the center of the display the GPS Chart Plotter

 

will occasionally redraw.

 

b. If the vessel changes course greater than 330T or more than 30T the chart will be

 

redrawn.

Static Navigation

: Sets up a threshold for the speed. When the speed received from the positioning device

 

is under that threshold, the GPS Chart Plotter displays zero. The default setting is 0.9 Kts.

13.1.0 Loran TD

The Loran TD selection allows the GPS Chart Plotter to be set up so the user can enter in LORAN TD’s directly into the GPS Chart Plotter. After the TD’s have been entered, and the user changes to ddd mm.sss (Degrees Minutes and Seconds) the TD’s will be converted to Lat / Lon coordinates.

To use the TD Coordinate System the user must setup the Chain and Pair information of the TD’s. If you do not know this information, refer to paper charts that show the Chain and Pair information.

ASF1/2

: Additional Secondary phase Factor (TD Coordinate System)

 

Correction to TD1/2 values which can be inserted by the user to take in account the

 

additional signal propagation delay aver a mixed land/seawater path compared to on all-

 

seawater path. Normally the user does not enter a ASF value. However for experienced

 

users this function allows entering of signal delay values to fine adjust the calculated

 

position. The user should enter delay values to fine adjust the position calculated.

Alter

: Alternate Solution (TD Coordinate System)

 

Parameter selected by the user that is applied in the conversion of geographical coordinates

 

Lat/Lon to TD values. To be used if the position displayed is roughly not correct.

13.2COMPASS

The GPS Chart Plotter computes compass direction from the constellation of GPS Satellites. For the GPS Chart Plotter to compute direction the vessel must be moving through the water. This menu allows the GPS Chart Plotter to customize the following selections:

Bearings : Selects between True and Magnetic. When Magnetic bearings is enabled, the GPS Chart Plotter applies the selected Magnetic Variation (Auto or Manual, see next paragraph) to compute True bearing.

Variation : Allows the user to select Auto or Manual. When Auto mode is selected the GPS Chart Plotter computes the offset by the current GPS fixed location. Manual mode allows the user to enter in a magnetic variation that is applied in the True conversion.

Calibration : This function allows a user to enter in the offset for areas that the vessel may cruise instead of entering in a manual offset for one location. This offset is useful for cruising vessels or vessels that travel internationally often.

13.3ALARMS

This menu is used to select and setup audible and visual Alarms. Available alarms are Arrival, XTE, Depth, Anchor and Grounding Alarm.

Arrival Alarm

: Alerts when the vessel is approaching a single destination point or when arriving at a leg

 

in a Route. Available selections: 0.00 to 9.99NM.
