Tracks; Tracking - Standard Horizon CP180 Owner's Manual

10. TRACKS

The CP180/CP180i and the CP300/CP300i have the capability to store 20 individual tracks
and record up to 10,000 Track Points.
Before using the Track function you will need to setup the Track function that suits your boat.
The Track function tracks your vessels location as it moves through the water. The Track
function can be setup to lay down a Track for a predetermined time or distance interval. If
you have a fast moving boat you may want to setup the CP180/CP180i or CP300/CP300i
to record a Track point every 0.5NM or if you have a sail boat you may want to setup to lay
down a Track point once every 1 minute.
Please note the Track point memory capacity is 10,000 points. This means for a long journey you may
have to adjust the time or distance to be able to track your journey. It should be noted when the 10,000
Track points are used up, the first Track point layed down will be deleted when a new point is placed
on the chart.

TRACKING

You may have to take a few trips to see how you like the Distance or Time Interval setup
on the previous step. However when using the tracking feature you will notice every time
a Track Point is layed down on the Chart page a small filled in circle is shown on the Track
line. If you move the cursor over the top of the circle a popup window will be shown with the
Time, Water Temperature (shown when FF525 (or FF520) is connected), Speed and
Course Over Ground (COG) this is very useful if you are fishing and want to review the
conditions where the fish were being caught.
