The system has two different positions for own ship: System position, primary position
and secondary position.
• Primary position: Position generated by position source chosen as primary posi-
tion source.
• Secondary position: Position generated by position source chosen as secondary
position source.
The position source for primary position of own ship is chosen as Primary on the
[POSN] page of the [Sensor] menu.
The position source for secondary position of own ship is chosen as Secondary on the
[POSN] page of the [Sensor] menu. Secondary position of own ship is not available as
latitude/longitude value for the user.
Primary and secondary positions of your ship may be
plotted on the chart display with the past tracks fea-
ture. You can control their visibility, etc. from the
[Tracking] page of the [Symbol Display] menu, shown
in the right figure. In this example, past tracks are plot-
ted using the primary position-fixing equipment.
