Changing GPS speed averaging value

When you aren't using DGPS or you're out of range, you may notice that

the SOG readings obtained from the GPS satellite system are slightly

erratic, varying by up to several knots. Often, the 961/962's

function can improve the steadiness of these readings, although you'll

see a slightly longer display reaction time when the speed changes.

With GPS speed averaging, you can select the time at which the 961/962

averages your speed, with values available between one and ten seconds.

A longer averaging time is useful at lower speeds when you require the

highest accuracy; with this high degree of accuracy, you'll see a steady

display of your speed that will be slow to change. A shorter averaging

time provides less accuracy and a faster change of the speed display.

You also can turn off speed averaging for the quickest possible display

reaction time.
