Operation
Minimum
Satellite
Elevation Set the minimum satellite elevation above the horizon.
Default value: 5 degrees
Satellites with a low elevation may have a bad signal-to-
noise ratio (SNR). Increase the elevation angle to exclude
satellites with a low elevation angle. This reduces the
number of satellites used to calculate the position which
may therefore be less accurate.
In the tab
Position > Quality
you can see the number of
satellites in view and in use.
In the
Position
screen tap and select GNSS Satellites.
Here you can see lists of satellites.
Datum Swipe to select the geodetic datum that the GNSS/DGNSS
Receiver should use.
• WGS 84 (default)
• WGS 72
• User Defined
• SGS 85 (MIT ‘93)
• PE 90 (used with GLONASS)
• IHO Datum
• SK 42
• SK 95
• HSC 2011
For User Defined and IHO Datum see To set a local Datum
on page 27.
COG
Smoothing Adjustment of the responsiveness. Increase this setting to
avoid rapid fluctuations in COG. The greater the smoothing
value is set to, the longer will it take for the COG to reflect
when the ship turns.
Default: 5 s
