Page 80 GPS chartplotters
LOW WATER The minimum level of the tide height in 24 hours.
Position Request Marine DSC VHF Function of transmitting a GPS position to another
Marine DSC VHF. When GPS chartplotter is connected to Standard Horizon GPS the
position of another vessel is shown on the Chart Page.
SPEED shows the Speed Thru the Water when a Digital Speed Log is connected.
SOG (Speed Over Ground) – the speed you vessel is traveling at.
STEER Heading to steer to destination Waypoint
TIME Shows the current time received by the GPS.
TRIP LOG Shows the distance the vessel has traveled since the trip log was reset.
TRU Wind DIR SPD (Apparent Wind Direction) Shows the True wind Direction
when a external wind instrument with NMEA is connected.
TRU Wind SPD (Apparent Wind Speed) Shows the True wind speed when a external wind
instrument with NMEA is connected.
TTG (Time To Go) – shows time to go to reach a destination point.
UNITS
Nm Nautical Mile (1 NM = 1.15 Sm or 1.85Km)
Sm Statue Mile (1Sm = 0.87Nm or 1.61Km)
Km Kilometer (1 Kilometer = 0062 Sm or 0.54Nm)
FT Feet. (1 Foot = 0.167 Fathoms or 0.305 Meters)
FA Fathom (1 Fathom = 6 Feet or 1.83 Meters)
Mt Meter (1 Meter = 3.28 Feet or 0.55 Fathoms)
Kts Knot (1 Knot = 1.15 MPH or 1.85 KPH)
MPH Miles Per Hour (1 MPH = 0.87 Knots or 1.61 KPH)
Kmh Kilometer per hour (1 KPH = 0.54 Knots or 0.62 MPH)
VMG It is the destination closing Velocity. The VMG is calculated using the current speed
of the vessel (SOG) and the difference between the current vessel course and the bearing
to the destination.
WAAS 2D/3D the GPS is receiving a 2D or 3D position and the correction from the WAAS
Satellite.WAAS consists of approximately 25 ground reference stations positioned across
the United States that monitor GPS satellite data. Two master stations, located on either
coast, collect data from the reference stations and create a GPS correction message. This
correction accounts for GPS satellite orbit and clock drift plus signal delays caused by the
atmosphere and ionosphere. The corrected differential message is then broadcast through
one of two geostationary satellites, or satellites with a fixed position over the equator. The
information is compatible with the basic GPS signal structure, which means any WAAS-
enabled GPS receiver can read the signal.
WATER TEMP Shows the sea water temperature when the Black Box Fish Finder or a
Digital Speed Log/temp instrument with NMEA is connected.
XTE (Cross Track Error) the distance your vessel is off course (left or right) to a destination
point.
