Position Request; Setting Up Position Reply - Standard Horizon Eclipse DSC+ GX1100E Owner's Manual

9.8 POSITION REQUEST

Advancements in DSC have made it possible to poll the location of another
vessel and show the position of that vessel on the display of the GX1100E.
Standard Horizon has taken this feature one step further, if any Standard Hori-
zon GPS is connected to the GX1100E, the polled position of the vessel is
shown on the display of the GPS chart plotter making it easy to navigate to the
location of the polled vessel. This is a great feature for anyone wanting to know
the position of another vessel. For example your friend that is catching fish, or
finding the location of a person you are cruising with.
The other vessel must have an operating GPS receiver connected to its
DSC transceiver and must not have its transceiver set to deny position
requests. (Refer the section "9.5.1 Setting up the Individual / Position
Call Directory" to enter information into the individual directory).

9.8.1 Setting up Position Reply

The GX1100E can be set up to automatically or manually send your position to
another vessel. This selection is important if you are concerned about some-

mode you will see the MMSI or persons name shown on the display allowing
you to choose to send your position to the requesting vessel.
