Database
The NAV6 and NAV6plus contain a database of the details of NAVTEX transmitting station
from around the world. Each entry contains the Station identifier (a letter from A to X), Its
NAVAREA, Station Name, Latitude, Longitude, Range and Operational State.
Station Names Pages
The Station Names Pages determine the names of stations
displayed on Station Filter Pages and in NAVTEX message
headers.
The figure shows the Station Names Page 518kHz; the
490kHz page is similar.
Use the UP and DOWN keys to select the setting that you
wish to edit. Use the
and
Softkeys 2 and 3 to change
the setting.
On the NAV6plus the Station Name Selection setting
allows the user to select between ‘GPS’ and ‘Manual’ station
selection. If ‘GPS’ is selected and there is valid position data
on the NMEA input, the NAV6plus will automatically select
the NAVTEX transmitting station names nearest to the
boat’s current location for each station letter.
If ‘Manual’ is selected, then the user can manually select the
transmitting station names to be displayed for each station
letter.
Note: You may be sailing in NAVAREA II and may manually select station names from
NAVAREA II. However it is important to realise that the corresponding station letter in an
adjacent NAVAREA may be closer.
Database Administration Pages
The Database Administration Pages are used to edit the
contents of the Station Database.
Use the Back Softkey to exit the station database setup.
The station database page is divided into two halves. The
top half shows a scrolling list of all stations in the database.
The bottom half shows details of the current station
selected in the station list.
To edit an existing station entry:
Use the UP and DOWN keys to select the station you wish
to edit. Use the LEFT and RIGHT keys to jump to the next or
previous station letter in the database.
