4.5 Checking GPS operation
You can check that the GPS is functioning correctly using the chart
application.
1. Select the Chart page.
2. Check the screen.
With the chart displayed, you should see:
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.
A solid circle on the chart indicates that neither heading nor
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.
