8.5 Menu 8: Initial setting
8.5.1 Setting average constants(measuring position, speed and course)
Initial setup: HIGH
Use the averaging function to compare GPS sensor signals several times and get their average.
This stabilizes the GPS position (latitude and longitude), speed and course data. The maximum
averaging rate is “LOW” and the minimum averaging rate is “HIGH”. When you select “LOW” value,
data is averaged more often and the display data has smaller variations. However, delays for updating
occur. When you select a “HIGH” value, data is averaged less but the display data responds quicker.
Selecting a constant (averaging constant) suitable for your boat speed will provide you with smoother
data of the boat position, course and speed.
