M P O
ANUAL OSITION
GPS adjustments: Overlapping the radar picture on the chart allows controlling the accuracy
of the GPS position. Indeed when, for example, a buoy displayed on the chart and its radar
echo do not match this is probably due to the ship's position calculation accuracy.
To adjust the position of the ship use the tool "Ship position offset" .
Click on the radar echo on the chart, then drag the mouse and click on the corresponding
chart object.
Then GPS is shifted and the values of the shifting are displayed in the position panel .
To release the shifting values click right button in the position panel and activate the menu
"Clean position offset".
G
YRO DRIFT
When the radar picture is slightly rotated compared to the chart, the drifting of the gyro is
probably the cause of the problem. To adjust the gyro in ECDIS900 enter the corrective value
of the heading with the small arrows . Then the radar picture will be rotated accordingly and
the gyro shifting value displayed in the Heading panel.
