Starting a position track
A position track permits the CS90 system to automatically control the tilt and bearing based
on the movements of your vessel.
Context
The position track locks on a position defined by its latitude, longitude and depth.
The phrase position is used to identify a fixed echo in the display presentation that you
wish to act upon. The echo may for example be from a shallow, reef or rock. You
must decide which echoes that shall be classified as positions, and whether you shall
start position tracking.
The bearing and tilt settings are automatically adjusted to compensate for the movements of
your vessel. The bearing line is automatically locked on the object to reflects its bearing. The
marker is stationary. If the echo moves in the display presentation the marker will not follow.
Tip
A new manually initiated tracked object is automatically given priority status. Relevant
information about the priority target can be found in the lower left corner of the view. If you
think the text is small and hard to read, double-click on the text field. This will increase the
text size.
