12.8 POSITION REQUEST
Advancements in DSC have made it possible to poll the location of another
vessel and show the position of that vessel on the display of the
GX1150
. Stan-
dard Horizon has taken this feature one step further, if any Standard Horizon
GPS is connected to the
GX1150
, the polled position of the vessel is shown on
the display of the GPS chart plotter making it easy to navigate to the location of
the polled vessel. This is a great feature for anyone wanting to know the posi-
tion of another vessel. For example your friend that is catching fish, or finding
the location of a person you are cruising with.
NOTE
The other vessel must have an operating GPS receiver connected to its
DSC transceiver and must not have its transceiver set to deny position
requests. (Refer the section “
12.5.1 Setting up the Individual / Posi-
tion Call Directory
” to enter information into the individual directory).
12.8.1 Setting up the Position Reply
The
GX1150
can be set up to automatically or manually send your position to
another vessel. This selection is important if you are concerned about some-

you to choose to send your position to the requesting vessel.
