15. Navigation Sensors
15.1 Choosing Navigation Sensors
The operator can choose navigation sensors to use for navigation and view their current values on the Sensors dialog
box. To access this dialog box, place the cursor on the Position field in the information area then push the right
button.
Checkbox status shows whether the sensor is used for integrated navigation or not. If there is no value shown for a
sensor this means that the sensor is not valid. Note that the content of these pages depends on sensors which are in
use on the ship.
