Page 35 Chapter 2: Operation General Description Minimum Set the minimum satellite elevation above the horizon. Satellite Default value: 5 degrees Elevation Satellites with a low elevation may have a bad signal-to- noise ratio (SNR). Increase the elevation angle to exclude satellites with a low elevation angle. This reduces the number of satellites used to calculate the position which may therefore be less accurate.
Page 36 Chapter 2: Operation General Description Adjustment of the responsiveness. Increase this setting to Smoothing avoid rapid fluctuations in SOG. The greater the smoothing value is set to, the longer will it take for the SOG to reflect changes in ship speed. Default: 5 s Zone Time Swipe to set the zone time.
