11.8 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
GX5000S
.
Standard Horizon has taken this feature one step further, if any Standard Hori-
zon GPS is connected to the
GX5000S
, 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 position of another vessel. For example your buddy 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 “
11.5 INDIVIDUAL CALL
” to enter infor-
mation into the individual directory).
11.8.1 Setting up Position Reply
The
GX5000S
can be set up to automatically or manually send your position to
another vessel. This selection is important if you are concerned about some-

mode you will see the MMSI or persons name shown on the display allowing
you to choose to send your position to the requesting vessel.
