15.7 MAGNETIC
This selection allows customizing the GPS COG (Course Over Ground) indi-
cation on the normal and compass pages and BRG on the waypoint and AIS
pages.
Refer to section “
6.10 CHANGING COG TO TRUE OR MAGNETIC
” for
details.
NOTE
Setting to “Magnetic” is effective only when the RMC sentences with
magnetic data are input from external devices such as a GPS receiv-
er. It is ineffective when using the internal GPS of the
GX2200
.
15.8 POSITION INPUT
This selection allows the latitude and longitude of your vessel to be manually
entered so a DSC distress or a position report call will contain position infor-
mation. This feature maybe useful when the
GX2200
is located in an area
where GPS reception is limited. Refer to section “
9.9 MANUAL INPUTTING
A GPS POSITION
(
LAT/LON
)” for setting.
15.9 POSITION DATA PRIORITY
This selection allows the
GX2200
to:
a. use the internal GPS to compute and display position information
(default setting).
b. use the NMEA output of Standard Horizon GPS Antenna (Q7000619A)
to input position information into the
GX2200
when the GPS reception
is limited, such as the flush mounting of the
GX2200
. Refer to Page 16
for connections. This is a useful feature when the
GX2200
is located in
an area where GPS reception is limited.
NOTE
When using an external GPS antenna or chart plotter to input posi-
tion data, turn off the GPS receiver, refer to section “
15.1 UNIT
POWER
”.
