[LANGUAGE] : Select the language among English and major European and Asian
languages.
[UNITS OF MEASURE] : The default units of measure are based on the language se-
lected. However, you can freely set the units of measure for distance, speed, wind
speed, depth, fish size, temperature, air pressure, oil pressure, and fuel.
[FIX] : Provides for adjustment of the GPS position.
[POSITION FILTER]: 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. You can choose the setting from among [Off], [Low],
[Medium] and [High]. The higher the setting, the more smoothed the raw data, howev-
er too high a setting slows response time to change in latitude and longitude. This is
especially noticeable at high ship's speeds. [Off] is the “normal” setting; increase the
setting if the GPS fix changes greatly.
