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
GX2000/
GX2100
. Standard Horizon has taken this feature one step further, if any com-
patible GPS chart plotter is connected to the
GX2000/GX2100
, the polled po-
sition 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 radio and must not have its radio set not to deny position requests.
(Refer the section “
11.5 INDIVIDUAL CALL
” to enter information into
the individual directory).
