Static Navigation
When the boat stops or moves very slowly,
the calculated GPS speed and course become
erratic. Static navigation allows the erratic
values to be filtered:
• 0.01 to 99.9: If the boat speed is slower than
this, the speed is displayed as zero and the
course stays unchanged.
• 0 (Off): The calculated speed and course are
always used.
Speed and Course Filter
Waves and wind cause the boat speed and
course to fluctuate slightly. To give stable
readings, the TRACKFISH calculates these
values by taking several measurements and
averaging them.
A lower value averages measurements
over a shorter period of time. This gives
the most accurate value but has the most
fluctuations.
A higher value averages measurements
over a longer period of time. This gives
the most stable value but will ignore some
[true] sudden speed changes.
Set the Speed and Course filters to the lowest
values which give stable readings. The range of
each filter is 1 to 60 seconds or Off (0).
