2.4 USING TRACK
A very useful feature of the chart plotter, is the ability to store and display exactly where the
boat has been. This feature, referred to as Tracking, can provide invaluable information about
the effect of tide and wind influence on the boat’s progress as well as giving an indication of the
helmsman’s performance.
When full storing capacity has been reached, the oldest points are deleted and overwritten by
the newest ones.
Setting up a Track Step
Before you use the Track function, it is important to specify the Track step unit: if you select
Distance, the Track point is placed when the distance from its last stored position is greater than
the defined distance; if Time, the Track point is placed after the defined time.
[MENU] + “Track” + [ENTER] + “Config” + [ENTER] + “Step Unit” + [ENTER]
You can select the Track step Time [1, 5, 10, 30 sec, 1 min] or distance [0.01, 0.05, 0.1, 0.5, 1.0,
2.0, 5.0, 10.0] Nm. Setting a short time/distance interval between Track points is best suited to
navigate within a close or complex environment, a greater time/distance interval is best suited
to a long voyage.
