Navigation: Distance

The echo sounder receives vessel distance information either
internally derived from speed information, via NMEA
datagrams, or from 1/200 nmi contact pulses.

Source

- Select source.

Port

- Select the input port.

Setup

- Set up the selected port.

NMEA sentence

- Select which datagram to use.

Distance

- The current vessel distance can be set manually.
