7.3.5 Export to Bearing Page
The calculated bearing of an emergency beacon, which is based on the decoded GPS position, can
be exported to the “Bearing” page by pressing the hotkey “Export” (s. Figure 67 or Figure 69, position
4). In this case, the RT-500-M is operating on the selected COSPAS-SARSAT frequency in the normal
bearing mode.
The GPS based information like:
- numerical indication of the GPS true bearing,
- indication of the GPS true bearing as the “GPS Arrow” in gray,
- the calculated distance to the emergency beacon
is displayed at the same time.
Figure 70. Indication of the GPS based bearing on the Bearing page
In order to remove the indication of the “GPS Arrow” from the “Bearing” page, keep the “Clr” hotkey
pressed for a few seconds until the arrow disappears (the indication of GPS true bearing as well as
the calculated distance will disappear together with the arrow).
