Smoothing When the DOP or receiving condition is
unfavorable, the GPS fix may change,
even if the vessel is dead in water. This
change can be reduced by smoothing
the raw GPS fixes. A setting between
000 to 999 is available. The higher
setting the more smoothed the raw
data, however too high a setting shows
response time to change in latitude and
longitude. This is especially noticeable
at high ship’ speeds. Increase the
setting if the GPS fix changes. 0-999 sec 0 sec (no position
