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/GX5500S. Standard
Horizon has taken this feature one step further, if any Standard Horizon GPS is connected
to the GX5000S/GX5500S, 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
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 “11.5.1
Setting up the Individual / Position Call Directory” to enter information into the individual
directory).
11.8.1 Setting up Position Reply
The GX5000S/GX5500S can be set up to automatically or manually send your position to
another vessel. This selection is important if you are concerned about someone polling the
position of your vessel that you may not want to. In the manual 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.
