Chapter 11: System setup and customizing 11-11
GPS Status
The GPS is used to position your boat on the chart. You can set up your Global
Positioning System (GPS) and check its status using the GPS status icons and the GPS
Status page of the Setup menu.
To access the GPS Status page:
1. Press MENU. The Setup menu is displayed.
2. Highlight and then select GPS Status. The GPS Status dialog box is displayed e.g.
This screen provides, for each tracked satellite, the satellite number, a graphical signal
strength bar, status, azimuth angle and its elevation angle from your vessel. The sky
view graphic shows the position of these satellites.
Positional accuracy is dependent upon these parameters; in particular, the azimuth
and elevation angles are used in a triangulation process to calculate your position.
Horizontal Dilution of Position (HDOP) is a measure of this accuracy; a higher figure
signifies a greater positional error. In ideal circumstances, the figure should be in the
region of 1.0.
Compass Setup
This option can be used to linearize a Raymarine ST80 active compass or Smart
Heading sensor connected on SeaTalk. To linearize (‘swing’) your compass proceed as
follows:
1. Select the Compass Setup sub-menu.
2. Press LINEARIZE COMPASS and follow the instructions displayed on screen. When
instructed to align heading, press the ALIGN HEADING soft key and then turn the
rotary control one click at a time to fine tune the heading.
