GEODETIC DATUM
Your equipment is preprogrammed with most
of the major chart systems of the world. Al-
though the WGS-84 system, the GPS stan-
dard, is now widely used other categories of
charts still exist. Select the chart system used,
not the area where your boat is sailing. The
default chart system is WGS-84.
1. Select GEODETIC DATUMS.
2. Press the soft key EDIT to show the geo-
detic datum window.

POS SMOOTHING
When the DOP or receiving condition is un-
favorable, the GPS fix may change greatly,
even if the vessel is dead in water. This
change can be reduced by smoothing the raw
GPS fixes. A setting between 000 to 999 is
available. The higher setting the more
smoothed the raw data, however too high a
setting shows response time to change in
latitude and longitude. This is especially no-
ticeable at high ship's speeds. 000 is the
normal setting; increase the setting if the GPS
fix changes greatly.
