(11) Averaging
Averaging is the process of averaging positioning data received by the sup-
plied GPS receiver for past several seconds so as to minimize meandering of
the plotted track.
This process makes the track smoother, but deteriorates the response of the
screen image to changes in ship speed and azimuth.
To activate the averaging function, proceed as follows.
q
Press the [MENU] key.
The Main Menu screen will appear.
w
Select “Positioning Menu” using the [UP] or [DOWN] key and press the [SET]
key.
The Positioning Menu screen will appear.
e
Select “Averaging” using the [UP] or [DOWN] key and press the [SET] key.
The selected item turns blue.
r
Move to the averaging level field.
This field will be highlighted in yellow.
t
Enter a value into the averaging level field using the [UP] or [DOWN] key and
press the [SET] key.
* A higher averaging level results in smaller meandering of the track.
y
When you finish setting an averaging level, press the [MENU] key.
You will return to the previous screen.
