Your boat position (indicates a GPS fix) . Your current position
is represented by a boat symbol or solid circle. Your position is
also displayed in the data bar under VES POS.

Course Over Ground (COG) data is available.
Note: Raymarine recommends that you check the displayed
vessel position in the chart application against your actual
proximity to a known charted object. GPS receivers typically have
an accuracy of between 5 and 15 m.
Note: A GPS Status screen is available within the Setup menu of
Raymarine multifunction displays. This provides satellite signal
strength and other relevant information.
