Chapter 4: Setting Up the GPS Plotter
4.1 Introduction
When you have installed your system and are familiar with its basic
operation, you may wish to set it up to operate according to your
requirements and display information according to your preferences.
This is achieved using the Set Up controls which are displayed when you
press the
MENU
key. These settings can be changed at any time.
When you have set your preferences, they are retained until you reset
them; they are retained even when the unit is powered off.
This chapter provides instructions for displaying and changing the
factory default values to your preferences.
The set up parameters are divided into four sections:
• System , controlling overall functionality.
• Plotter , controlling the plotting functions, including waypoint infor-
mation and vectors.
• Track , detailed in Using Tracks on page 3-38 .
• GPS , displaying the GPS Navigation Status, selecting the GPS Fix
Mode or setting up a Differential GPS (DGPS).
The following sections list the parameters, their possible settings and
describe the function of each parameter in turn.
