x
Depth:
If your vessel is equipped with a depth transducer or Fish Finder, you can
use this data window to display the depth at your vessel location.
Note:
Be sure to
specify your Depth Offset before relying on data from your transducer.
x
Depth/Temperature:
Maestro Navigator displays the water temperature along with
the depth.
x
Depth Warning*:
When this option is activated, Maestro Navigator monitors the
depth of your upcoming route. If your present course appears to be taking you into
dangerously shallow water, a warning window will appear on the screen.
x
Look Ahead*:
A multi-colored cross-section representation of your vessel’s course,
showing the relative depth of the area ahead. Different colors indicate clear areas,
places where you should use caution, and points of probable collision.
*Note:
The Depth Warning and Look Ahead features use charted data, not actual depth
sounder readings. It is designed to serve as an aid to navigation, to be used in
conjunction with actual depth readings and charted position.
Further explanation of these options is listed below.
Vessel Lat/Lon
S
elect the Vessel Lat/Lon option to change the data window and display Vessel
Coordinates as pictured below.
Vessel SMG/CMG
Select the Vessel SMG/CMG option to change the data window and display speed made
good (using the selected units of measure) and course made good (indicating True or
Magnetic North) as pictured above.
Speed Made Good
(SMG) is the rate at which your vessel is actually getting closer to
the next Waypoint.
This figure takes into account your speed over ground, and your heading. For example,
you might be traveling at 10 knots, but instead of heading directly for the next Waypoint,
you might circle the Waypoint before you actually reach it. Any time you take an indirect
path like this, your vessel speed is higher than the rate at which you’re actually gaining
on the Waypoint. Therefore, your speed over ground might be 10 knots, but your speed
made good would be lower - say, seven knots. (In other words, you would reach the
Waypoint in the same amount of time that it would have taken if you had followed a
direct course at seven knots.)
Course Made Good
is the bearing from the previous Waypoint to your vessel location.
