Anchor - Anchor Watch Alarm
This screen allows you to setup an anchor watch alarm
and maximum drift radius after you drop the anchor.
The receiver will remember the drop coordinates and
provide an alarm if the antenna drifts beyond the maxi-
mum distance you entered. If you are on a large com-
mercial ship, don’t forget that the anchor may be several
hundred feet from the receiver antenna. You will need to
consider this when setting in the distance.
COG SOG - Course & Speed Filter
Settings & Setup
This screen controls the Speed Over Ground (SOG) unit
of measure (meters per second, kilometers per hour,
miles per hour, or knots). You can also set a filter time
to average your speed and course over ground measure-
ments. This helps to smooth these measurements on
the display and NMEA output, a particularly useful tool
for slow moving vessels. The default filter setting is 2.0
seconds.
