Pinging the Race Start Line
You can use your vessel’s location to ping each end of the Race Start Line.
When your vessel is at the end point:
1. Open the menu.
2. Select
Race start line .
3. Select either Ping Port end or Ping Stbd (Starboard) end .
4. Repeat for the alternate end.
Important:
Pinging the Race Start Line ends will use your GPS location (from an internal or external GPS
receiver). When pinging the end points, it is important to compensate for the distance between
your vessel’s bow and the GPS location.
To increase the accuracy of start line placement:
1. Approach an end point from the same direction you will be traveling when starting the race.
2. Align your vessel so it is perpendicular to the end point.
3. When the bow of your vessel reaches the end point, ping the location.
4. Repeat for the alternate end, ensuring your vessel remains perpendicular to the line.
