Item
Geodetic Your equipment is preprogrammed with
Datum most of the major chart systems of the
world. Although the WGS-84 system,
the GPS standard, is now widely used
other categories of charts still exist.
Select the chart system used, not the
area where your boat is sailing.
Position When the DOP or receiving condition is
Smoothing unfavorable, the GPS fix may change,
even if the vessel is dead in water. This
change can be reduced by smoothing
the raw GPS fixes. A setting between
000 to 999 is available. The higher
setting the more smoothed the raw
data, however too high a setting shows
response time to change in latitude and
longitude. This is especially noticeable
at high ship' speeds. Increase the
setting if the GPS fix changes.
