NAVIGATE MODE
Navigate Mode is only available if there is a GPS or other source of
NMEA 0183 data connected to the NAV6

Mode using the VIEW softkey. The five fixed views are:
Position View
Combined View
Waypoint View
Conning View
Log View
The
User Configurable Views
are User Views 1,2,3 and 4.

Important
•
The correct magnetic variation must be input at the navigation
instruments (e.g. GPS, electronic compass) for the accurate display
of COG, set, waypoint bearing and heading.
•
For the purposes of testing your installation, you may wish to use
your GPS’s simulator mode to generate data for the NAV6
plus
.
Please check your GPS User Manual to find out whether it transmits
valid NMEA data whilst it is in its simulator mode – many GPS’s do
not set the ‘data valid’ flag in the NMEA sentences during
simulation. As a safety feature, the NAV6
plus
will ignore any NMEA
sentences where the ‘data valid’ flag is not set.
•
The
NAV6
plus
has a built in NMEA simulator mode – please ensure
that it is switched OFF in normal operation.
