5.4 Changing Track Plotting
Interval
In drawing the track, first the ship's position
(fed from the GPS plotter) is stored into this
unit's memory at an interval of time, distance
or automatic recording. (The default setting
is l0 minutes.) A shorter interval provides bet-
ter reconstruction of the track, but the storage
time of the track is reduced. When the track
memory becomes full, the oldest track is
erased to make room for the latest.
