Depth units

The available depth units are metres or feet. These units are toggled
with the 

depth 

or 

speed 

key.

Speed and log units

The available speed and log units are Kmh, Mph, Kts, SM and NM.
These units are toggled with the 

depth 

or 

speed 

key.

Log calibration

To ensure correct speed and log values are displayed, a correction
factor must be entered at the log display.

The correction factor = Charted distance ÷ Average Distance.

The charted distance is the distance between two charted objects.
Ideally, this should be about 1 nm.
