POSITION REQUEST

Advancements in DSC have made it possible to poll the location of another
vessel and show the position of that vessel on the display of the GX2200E.
Standard Horizon has taken this feature one step further, if any compat-
ible GPS chart plotter is connected to the GX2200E, the polled position of
the vessel is shown on the display of the GPS chart plotter making it easy
to navigate to the location of the polled vessel. This is a great feature for
anyone wanting to know the position of another vessel. For example your
buddy that is catching fish, or finding the location of a person you are cruis-
ing with.
The other vessel must have an operating GPS receiver connected
to its DSC radio and must not have its radio set not to deny position
requests. (Refer the section "8.5 INDIVIDUAL CALL" to enter infor-
mation into the individual directory).

important if you are concerned about someone polling the position of your
