• Presets can be used to switch quickly between different sets of
messages filter selections.
For instance, if you want to show just ‘weather warnings from all stations
in range’, you can set up a preset number to do just that.
•
Although the presets are pre-programmed, you can customise them
to meet your exact requirements.
Tip : Start by using 'preset 1' for normal operation, only use the other
presets once you are familiar with the way presets work and want to
switch quickly between different sets of message selections.
Station Selection
If you leave all NAVTEX stations selected for viewing (subject to your
current location) you may quickly become overwhelmed with NAVTEX
messages.
By filtering out unwanted stations, you can greatly reduce the amount of
unnecessary messages that are displayed. Station filtering can be
automatic or
by manual selection .
•
Automatic selection can be used if a GPS is connected to the
system. The 'in range' stations are then calculated based on the
information stored in the station database.
•
Manual Station selection is used whenever a GPS position fix is
unavailable, or can be used to override an automatic selection.
