Smoothing
During position fixing, ship’s velocity (speed and course)
is directly measured by receiving GPS satellite signals.
The raw velocity data may vary too much depending on
receiving conditions and other factors. You can reduce
this variance by increasing the smoothing. Like with
latitude and longitude smoothing, the higher the speed
and course smoothing the higher the smoothing setting,
the more the raw data will be averaged. If this setting is
high, the response to speed and course changes will
slow. For no smoothing, enter all zeros.

GPS Speed
Averaging
Calculation of ETA is based on average ship’s speed
over a given period. If the period is too long or too short,
calculation error will result. Change this setting if
calculation error occurs. The default setting is suitable for
most conditions.

Satellite
Every GPS satellite is broadcasting abnormal satellite
number(s) in its Almanac, which contains general orbital
data about all GPS satellites, including those which are
malfunctioning. Using this information, the GPS receiver
automatically eliminates any malfunctioning satellite from
the GPS satellite schedule. However, the Almanac
sometimes may not contain this information. If you hear
about a malfunctioning satellite from another source, you
can disable it manually. Enter satellite number (two digits,
max. 3 satellites) with the trackball and [ENTER] knob
and press the ENTER soft key.

Latitude Sets initial latitude position after cold start. Use the
N< − −>S soft key to switch coordinate.

Longitude Sets initial longitude position after cold start. Use the
W< − −>E soft key to switch coordinate.
