TRACKER 5505/5505i/5605 Installation and Operation Manual
It is your sole responsibility to install and use Navman’s instrument and GPS antenna in a manner
that will not cause accidents, personal injury or property damage. Always observe safe boating
practices.
The choice, location, angle and installation of the instrument & GPS antenna are critical to
performance of the system as intended. Follow instructions in this manual carefully. If in doubt,
consult your Navman dealer.
Ensure that any holes cut are in a safe position and will not weaken the boat’s structure. If in
doubt, consult a qualified boat builder.
Global Position System: The global Position System (GPS) is operated by the U.S. Government
which is solely responsible for its operation, accuracy and maintenance. The GPS is subject to
changes which could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment anywhere in the
world, including the TRACKER and TRACKFISH. To reduce the risk of misusing or misinterpreting
the TRACKER and TRACKFISH, you must read and understand all aspects of this Installation &
Operation Manual. We also recommend that practice all operations using the built-in simulator
before using the TRACKER or TRACKFISH.
Electronic Chart: The electronic chart used by TRACKER or TRACKFISH is an aid to navigation
designed to supplement, not replace official government charts. Only official government charts
supplemented by notices to mariners contain the information required for safe and prudent
navigation, Always supplement the electronic information provided by TRACKER or TRACKFISH
with other plotting sources such as observations, depth soundings, radar and hand compass
bearings. Should the information not agree, the discrepancy must be resolved before proceeding
any further.
Fuel Computer: Do not rely on the fuel computer as the sole source of information regarding
available fuel onboard. Fuel economy can change drastically depending on boat loading and sea
conditions. Fuel Computer information should be supplemented by visual or other checks of the
fuel load. This is necessary due to possible operator errors such as forgetting to reset the fuel used
when filling the tank, running the engine with the Fuel Computer not switched on, or on other
operator actions that may render the device inaccurate. Always carry adequate fuel onboard for
the intended trip, plus a reserve to allow for unforeseen circumstances.
Failure to adhere to these warnings may lead to death, serious injury or property
damage. Navman disclaims all liability for installation or use of this product that causes or
contributes to death, injury or property damage or that violates any law.
As Navman is continuously improving this product we retain the right to make changes to the
product at any time which may not be reflected in this version of the manual. Please contact your

The US Government operates the GPS system.
Twenty-four satellites orbit the earth and
broadcast position and time signals. The
positions of these satellites are constantly
changing. The GPS receiver analyses the
signals from the closest satellites and
calculates exac tly where it is on ear th. This is
called the GPS position.
The accuracy of the GPS position is typically
better than 10 m (33 f t) for 95% of the time. A
GPS antenna can re ceive signals from the GPS
satellites when it is almost anywhere on earth.
DGPS
A DGPS system uses correction signals to
remove some of the errors in the GPS position.
The TRACKER can use one of two ty pes of
DGPS system:
WAAS and EGNOS DGPS
WAAS and EGNOS are two satellite based
DGPS systems. The correction signals are
broadcast by satellites and are received by
the TRACKER’s standard GPS antenna. The
accuracy of the corrected GPS position is
typically better than 5 m (15 ft) for 95% of
the time.
WAA S covers all of the USA and most of
Canada. EGNOS will cover most of Wes tern
Europe when it be comes operatio nal.
Differential beacon DGPS
Di fferenti al beacons are land based radio
transmitters that broadcast correc tion
signals that can b e received by a sp ecial
recei ver on the boat. Differential b eacons
are usually only installed near ports and
important wate rways, an d each beacon
has a limited range. Th e accuracy of the
corre cted GPS p osition is typically better
than 2 to 5 m (6 to 16 ft).
GPS receiver
Navman GPS u nits have a s ensitive 12-channe l
recei ver, which tracks signals from all GPS
satellites visible ab ove the horizon a nd uses
measurements from all satellites more than 5°
above the ho rizon to calculate the position.
Each time a GPS receiver is turned on, it
normally t akes about 50 seconds before
it out puts the f irst posi tion. Under som e
circumstances it will take up to two minutes
or longer.

TRACKER 5505/5505i/5605 Installation and Operation Manual
The Fuel functions require optional petrol/gasoline, diesel or SmartCraft fuel sensors to be installed
and set up.
10-1 What the fuel computer does
Each engine has a flow sensor installed to
measure the engine’s fuel flow.
The TRACKER uses these flows, together with
boat speed and engine RPM if available to
estimate the fuel remaining in the tank(s), fuel
used, range and fuel economy. This data is
displayed on the fuel display (see section 10-2).
You can:
display the fuel used during a trip
(seesection 10-2)
set low fuel alarms (see sec tion 10-4)
make fuel consumption curves - graphs
of fuel consumption and boat speed as a
function of engine RPM - to monitor and
optimise b oat performance.
(see sec tion 10-6)
10-2 Fuel display
To go to the Fuel display, press , select
Other, then select F uel.
The display differs according to the number of
engines and tanks. If engine RPM is available
and if you have made and selected a Fuel
Consumption Curve (see section 10-6), press
to switch between a Summary or a Fuel
curve display.
The Fuel display shows
Speed
To select a boat speed sensor, see section 10-5-1.
RPM (if available)
If engine RPM is not available, the display
shows depth.
Remaining
The fuel remaining in the tank(s) is shown as a
vertical gauge on the right of the display. The
height of the yellow bar(s) show how much fuel
remains in the tank(s). If you have set a low fuel
alarm (see section 10-4), a red bar shows the
level at which the alarm will trigger. If there are
two tank s, the left bar shows the por t tank, the
right bar shows the starboard tank.

If the boat uses a paddlewheel sensor
to measure speed, calibrate it during
installation or if the speed readings
seem inaccurate.
Used
The fuel used during a trip. On a multi-engine
boat, the data for the port engine is on the left
of the display.
When you want to start measuring how much
fuel is used, go to the Fuel display and :
In a single engine boat, press and
select Clear used.
In a multi-engine boat, the fuel used by
each engine and the total fuel used are
shown. Press , select Clear used
and select:
Port or Starboard to clear the fuel used
by one engine
Both to clear the total fuel used.
Fuel flow
The fuel f low for the engine (s). On a multi
engine boat, the data for the port engine is on
the left of the display. Use the flows to check
the load of each engine.
NAVMAN
31
Fuel display without engine RPMFuel display with engine RPM
Range
The estimated boat range at the current fuel flow. The value can depend on the t ype of speed
sensor (see section 10-5).
Economy
The distance travelled per unit of fuel used. The value can depend on the t ype of speed sensor
(see sec tion 10-5). The larger the value, the better the fuel economy. Adjust the throttle and trim to
achieve the best economy.
Fuel consumption curve
A graph of fuel consumption and boat speed as a function of engine RPM. Use the curve to monitor
and optimise boat performance (see section 10-6).
10-3 When you add or remove fuel
When you add or remove fuel, you must tell
the TRACKER, other wise the fuel data will be
meaningless.
A When you completely fill a tank
Go to the fuel display and press .
Then:
On a single-tank boat, select Fill tank.
On a multi-tank boat, select Fill ta nk,
then select the tank you have filled.
Note: Underfloor fuel tank s are often diff icult
to refill to the same level twice, due to air
pockets.
32
NAVMAN
With underfloor fuel tanks:
Trim the boat to the same angle in the
water each time you follow procedure A.
Mostly use procedure B below when
adding fuel, but completely f ill the tank
and follow procedure A about ever y tenth
time you add fuel.
B When you part fill a tank
1 Add fuel to a tank and write down how
much fuel you add.
2 From the Fuel display, press and
select Add fuel.
3 On a multi-tank boat, select the tank that
you have added fuel to.
4 Change the number to the amount of fuel
that you added.
TRACKER 5505/5505i/5605 Installation and Operation Manual
Note: If you follow procedure B every time you
add fuel, then a small error will accumulate,
because it is hard to measure exactly how
much fuel you add. To avoid this, completely fill
the tank and follow procedure A about every
tenth time you add fuel.
C When you remove fuel
1. Before removing fuel, go to the Fuel
display, press and select Set remaining.
2. On a multi-tank boat, select the tank that
you are removing fuel from.
3. Write down the value of Remaining for the
tank; this is the amount of fuel originally in
the tank.
10-4 Low fuel alarm
To set a low fuel alarm for a tank:
1 Press one or more times to display
the Setup menu, select Fuel then select
Setup tank s.
2 On a multi-tank boat, select the tank to set
the alarm for.
3 Select Fuel alarm and enter a fuel level
to trigger the low fuel alarm; or enter zero
to disable the alarm.
10-5 Boat speed s ensors
10-5-1 Selecting a boat speed s ensor
The fuel calculations can use boat speeds from
the GPS, or from a paddlewheel sensor or pitot
sensor if these optional sensors are installed:
Paddlewheel and pitot sensors measure
the speed through the water; GPS speed is
speed over ground; these sensors can give
different values for Range, Economy and
the fuel consumption curves (see section
10-5-2).
A pitot sensor is more accurate than a
paddlewheel sensor at high speeds but is
not accurate at low speeds. A paddlewheel
sensor is more accurate than a pitot sensor
at low speeds.
4. Remove fuel from the tank and write down
how much fuel you remove.
5. Subtract the amount of fuel you removed
from the amount of fuel originally in the
tank to calculate the amount of fuel now in
the tank.
6. Change the number on the Set Remaining
menu to the amount of fuel that you
calculated was now in the tank.
7. Press
Note: You can also use this procedure when
you add fuel to a tank. In this case, add the fuel
you have added to the amount of fuel originally
in the tank to calculate the amount of fuel now
in the tank .
When a low fuel alarm is set, the alarm’s fuel
level is shown on the fuel display tank levels as
a red bar. The alarm can also be set using the
Alarms setup menu (see section 14-7)
To select an optional speed sensor
1 Press one or more times to display
the Setup menu, select Fuel and select
Speed source.
2 To use a paddlewheel or pitot sensor, select
Water speed , otherwise select Ground
speed to use GPS speed.
3 If you selected Water speed and you have
both a paddlewheel sensor and a pitot
sensor:
i Press , select Sm artcraft and
select Speed type
ii Select Paddlewheel or Pitot.
Tip: You can selec t a different speed sensor
during a trip.
TRACKER 5505/5505i/5605 Installation and Operation Manual
A paddlewheel sensor and a pitot sensor
measure water speed, the boat speed
through the water. A GPS measures ground
speed, the boat speed over the bottom of
the water. If there is a current, then these
speeds will be dif ferent, and the log, trip
log, economy and range will be different, as
shown below.
When the current is from ahead, gro und speed is less than water speed
Water speed 10 knots
Water speed is better for measuring the
boat’s potential performance, Ground speed
is better for going to a destination because it
takes currents into account. To select a speed
sensor, see section 10-5-1.
Water speed 10 knots
Current 4 knots
Gives a ground speed of 6 knots
For this example:
If the boat travels for one hour, uses 3 gallons of fuel per hour and has 50 gallons of fuel left:
Speed Log Economy Range
Using water speed: 10 knots 10 nm 3. 3 nm / gal 165 nm
Using ground speed : 6 knots 6 nm 2.0 nm / gal 100 nm
When the current is from be hind, ground sp eed is more than w ater speed
Water speed 10 knots
Current
4 knots
Gives a ground speed of 14 knots
For this example:
If the boat travels for one hour, uses 3 gallons of fuel and has 50 gallons of fuel left:

TRACKER 5505/5505i/5605 Installation and Operation Manual
A fuel consumption cur ve shows fuel consumption (fuel used per unit of distance travelled) and
boat speed as a function of engine RPM. Fuel consumption curves require engine RPM, which
requires SmartCraft or diesel sensors to be installed. Fuel consumption curves are power ful tools
for assessing boat performance in dif ferent conditions and for helping you to run at the most
economical speed for the conditions.
10-6-1 Making a fuel consumption curve
To make a fuel consumption cur ve you will
need to run the boat in a straight line for about
15 minutes using the engine’s full RPM range.
For your first curve, choose a calm day with
light wind and little current; have a typical load
and a freshly cleaned hull. Later, you can make
fuel consumption cur ves for different boat,
weather or sea conditions. Compare these
with your first cur ve to see how your boat ’s
performance changes with conditions.
Making a curve
1 Start running the boat in a straight line.
2 Choose a speed source for the curve (see
section 10-5-1). Normally choose Water
speed to measure the boat’s potential
performance.
3 Press one or more times to display
the Setup menu, then select F uel.
4 Select Fuel consu mption curve,
then select New.
5 Enter the comfortable maximum RPM you
know you can achieve for the engine rather
than the maker’s value.
6 The TRACKER then asks you to set the
minimum RPM. Set the throttle to idle; on a
multi engine boat set all engines to about
the same idle RPM.
Now, do not change the engine speed.
Wait for about 60 seconds for the boat to
stabilise, then press . Wait while the
fuel computer records the data.
7 The TRACKER then asks you to set the
throttle to achieve a target RPM. On a multi
engine boat set all engines to about the
target RPM. When the engine RPMs are
correct, the Target RPM box will turn green.
Now, do not change the engine speed.
Wait for about 60 seconds for the boat to
stabilise, ensuring the Target RPM box stays
green. Then press . Wait while the fuel
computer records the data.
8 The TRACKER repeats the above step to
record data up to the maximum RPM.
Then the TRACKER asks if you want to save
the curve. Select Yes. The fuel computer
asks for a name for the curve. Change the
default name if required. Then press .
The TRACKER stores the new curve.
Note To interrupt making the curve at any time,

Calibrate petrol/gasoline fuel flow sensors
during installation, or if the fuel readings seem
inaccurate and the other troubleshooting
suggestions do not help (see appendix B
troubleshooting).
Note
SmartCraft fuel sensors and Navman diesel
sensors are factory calibrated and should
never need recalibrating.
On a multi engine boat, calibrate each
engine’s sensor. This can be done at the
same time with a portable tank for each
engine or at different times using one
portable tank .
Calibrating a sensor requires accurate
measurement of the fuel consumption.
This is best done using a small por table
tank. At least 4 gallons (15 litres) of fuel
should be used to ensure an accurate
calibration.
It is of ten very difficult to fill under floor
tanks to the same level twice due to air
pockets, so the more fuel used, the more
accurate the calibration.
To calibrate the sensor(s):
1 Record the level of the fuel in the tank(s).
2 Connect the portable tank(s) to the engine
through the fuel sensor(s).
3 Run the engine at normal cruising speed
until at least 4 gallons (15 litres) of fuel has
been used per engine.
4 Check the actual amount of fuel used per
engine by refilling the portable tank(s) to
the original level and noting the reading(s)
of the fuel dispenser’s gauge.
5 Press one or more times to display
the Setup menu, select Fuel then select
Setup engines.
6 On a single engine boat, select
Calibrate and change the displayed
value to be equal to the reading of the fuel
dispenser’s gauge, then press .
On a multi-engine boat select the engine.
Select Calibrate and change the
displayed value to be equal to the reading
of the fuel dispenser’s gauge, then press

14-2 Setup > Chart
Press once or more until the Setup menu is displayed, then select Chart:
Rotation
The options for char t rotation are:
North up: North is always at the top of the chart display.
Track up: The chart is rotated so that the boat direction is to
the top of the display. This option is useful for navigating narrow
harbours or rivers. The TRACKER asks for a course deviation; this is
how much the boat direc tion needs to change to make the char t
redraw.
Tip: If the char t redraws too frequently, increase the course
deviation setting.
Course up: This option is only available if the boat is navigating
to a destination. The chart is rotated so that the plotted course to
the destination is ver tical.
Palette
Select the colour scheme for the LCD display. The options are :
Normal
Sunlight: Brighter colours, more visible in sunlight.
Night: Reversed colours for night, to preserve night vision.
Map datum
TRACKER GPS positions are based on a worldwide reference (datum)
known as WGS 8 4. Most paper charts are based on WGS 84. However,
some paper charts are based on other datums In these cases, the
latitude and longitude coordinates of objects on the TRACKER chart
display are different to the latitude and longitude coordinates of these
objects on the pap er chart. This applies to all objects, such as the boat,
waypoints, track s, lines of latitude and longitude and car tographic
features such as land, rocks, buoys and depth contours.
Use Map datum to select the TR ACKER map datum to match the
datum of the paper char t. Then, the latitude and longitude coordinates
of objec ts displayed on the TR ACKER will change to match the
corresponding coordinates on the paper chart.
TRACKER 5505/5505i/5605 Installation and Operation Manual
the TRACKER asks if you want to apply the
NMEA datum offset (see below).
When you change to a chart with a
different datum, change the TRACKER map
datum again.
NMEA datum offset
If you select a map datum other than WGS 84,
the map datum offset can be applied to latitude
and longitude coordinates sent on the TRACKER
NMEA output:
Latitude and longitude coordinates
displayed on any NMEA repeater do not
match the coordinates on the TRACKER.
Latitude and longitude coordinates
broadcast on any NMEA VHF transmitter
will be the same as the coordinates on a
WGS 84 char t.
Latitude and longitude coordinates
displayed on any NMEA repeaters match
the coordinates on the TRACKER. However,
latitude and longitude coordinates
broadcast on any NMEA VHF transmitter
will be slightly offset from coordinates on a
WGS 84 char t.
Map shift
Map shif t is for eliminating minor offsets.
It should not be used if the correc t datum
is available. Use map shift with caution:
incorrect application will cause incorrect
boat positions.
Some charts have consistent position errors. To
correct this, apply a map shif t. After a map shif t:
The positions of cartographic features (such
as land, rocks, buoys and depth contours)
move on the TR ACKER chart display to
where they should be.
The positions of the boat, waypoints, tracks,
and lines of latitude and longitude on the
TRACKER chart display remain unchanged.
Applying a map shift
1 Move the boat to a known point on the
chart, for example a marina berth.
2 In the Chart setup menu, selec t Map
shift.
3 Move the cursor to the position on the chart
where the boat actually is.
4 Press and select Set.
5 Press to set the new map shift. The
boat will now be displayed at its actual
location.
Clearing the map shift
Clearing the map shif t removes any map shift
from the cartographic features on the TR ACKER
chart display.
1 In the Chart setup menu, select M ap
shift.
2 Press and selec t Clear.

Press once or more until the Setup
menu is displayed, then select GPS:
GPS Source
• Internal: Use the internal GPS antenna
(TRACKER 5505i) or the ex ternal GPS
antenna supplied (TRACKER 5505, TR ACKER
5605) (see section 15-5).
• NMEA: Use an external GPS or DGPS source
connected via NMEA (see sec tion 15-10).
• NavBus: Use an external GPS or DGPS
source connected via NavBus (see section
15-9).
DGPS Source
Enables or disables the satellite based DGPS
correction (see section 7). The options are
None or WA AS/EGNOS. Do not enable
WAAS/EGNOS outside their coverage areas
or the accuracy of the position might be
degraded.
WAAS covers all of the USA and most of
Canada. To use WAAS, the GPS antenna must
have a clear view of the sky towards the
equator. EGNOS will cover most of Western
Europe when it becomes operational.
Restar t GPS
Restar ts the internal GPS receiver for servicing
or troubleshooting. The GPS receiver takes
up to three minutes to restart. The satellite
display shows the status of the GPS receiver
(see sec tion 7). Restart the GPS if the receiver
has not been used for some time and is taking a
long time to get a GPS fix.
Static Navig ation
When the boat stops or moves very slowly,
the calculated GPS speed and course become
erratic. Static navigation is a number, and the
options are:
• 0.01 to 99.9:If the boat speed is slower
than this, the speed is displayed as zero and
the course stays unchanged.
• 0(Off): The calculated speed and course
are always used.
Speed and Co urse Filter
Waves and wind caus e the boat speed and
cours e to fluctuate slightly. To give stab le
readings, the TR ACKER calculates these
values by taking several me asurements and
averaging them.
A lower value averages measurements
over a shorter period of time. This gives
the most accurate value but has the most
fluctuations.
A higher value averages measurements
over a longer period of time. This gives the
most stable value but will ignore some true
speed changes.
Set the Speed and Course filters to the lowest
values which give stable readings. The range of
each filter is 1 to 60 seconds or Of f (0).
Speed range
The maximum reading to display on an analog
boat speed gauge (see section 8). Choose a
range suitable for your boat.

by taking several measurements and averaging
them. Use the Flow filter to set the period over
which the fuel flow is averaged.
The Flow filter can be set from 0 to 30 seconds.
Use the lowest value which gives a stable flow.
Usually a value of 5 to 10 seconds will give a
satisfactory result for t wo-stroke carburettor
engines. Fuel injec ted or four-stroke engines
may require a larger value.
This setting affects the Fuel flow and Fuel
economy reading on the Fuel display but it
does not af fect the Fuel used reading.

TRACKER 5505/5505i/5605 Installation and Operation Manual
This troubleshooting guide is written with
the assumption that the user has read and
understood the relevant sec tions in this
manual.
It is possible in many cases to solve difficulties
without having to send the display unit back to
the manufacturer for repair. Please follow this
troubleshooting section before contacting the
nearest NAVMAN dealer.
There are no user ser viceable parts. Specialized
methods and testing equipment are required
to ensure that the display unit is reassembled
B-1 General Problems
1-1 The TRACKER won’t turn on:
a The TR ACKER is designed to operate on
a 12/24 volt batter y system, where the
voltage may vary from 10.5 to 32 volts. If
an excessive voltage is supplied, a fuse will
be tripped, turning the display unit off.
Check the fuse.
b Check that the power cable connector
at the back of the display unit is securely
plugged in and the collar is locked in place.
The collar must be secure for watertight
connection.
c Measure the bat tery voltage while the
batter y is under load - turn on some
lights, radio or other electrical equipment
connected to the bat tery. If the voltage is
less than 10 volts:
- the batter y terminals or wiring on the
terminals may be corroded.
- the battery may not be charging
correctly or may need replacing.
d Inspect the power cable from end to end
for damage such as cuts, breaks, squashed
or trapped sections.
e Ensure that the red wire is connected to the
positive battery terminal and the black wire
to the negative batter y terminal. If wired for
the Auto Power option, ensure the yellow
wire is connected to the ignition circuit.
Also check the boat’s main switch circuit
(see sec tion 15-4).
correctly and is waterproof. Users who ser vice
the product themselves will void the warranty.
Repairs to the product may only be carried out
by a service centre approved by NAVMAN. If the
product must be sent into a service centre for
repair, it is essential to send in the transducer(s)
at the same time.
More information can be found on our Website:
www.navman.com.
f Check for corrosion on the power cable
connector and clean or replace if required.
g Check fuses that are placed in line with the
power cable. A fuse can be blown despite
appearing to be good or the fuse may be
corroded. Test the fuse or replace it with a
fuse known to be good.
1-2 The TRACKER won’t turn off:
The TRACKER may have been wired for
Auto power. In this case, the TRACKER
cannot be turned of f while the ignition
power is on (see section 2-3).
1-3 If the TRACKER beeps when turned on but
nothing is displayed:
The TRACKER may be operating, but the
backlight settings may have been set too
low (see section 2- 4).
1-4 The wrong language is displayed:
See section 14-1.

TRACKER 5505/5505i/5605 Installation and Operation Manual
are securely plugged in and the collar is
locked in place. Check the fuel cable is not
damaged or pinched.
c A fuel sensor may be blocked.
A fuel filter must be installed between
the fuel transducer and the fuel tank as
described in the sensor installation manual.
Otherwise the warranty is void.
d Recalibrate the fuel flow sensor(s) (see
section 10-7).
e Check that the fuel filter is clean.
f In rough seas, fuel may surge back and
forth through the fuel sensor(s), resulting in
incorrect readings. Try installing a one -way
valve bet ween the fuel sensor(s) and the
fuel tank.
g Petrol/gasoline fuel sensors should be
replaced after every 5000 litres of fuel.
3-3 Fuel remaining seems inaccurate:
a The TRACKER is not wired for auto power
(see sec tion 15-4).
b You added or removed fuel but did not tell
the TRACKER (see section 10-3).
c The fuel tank may not refill to the same
capacit y each time due to air pockets. This
is a particular problem with underf loor
tanks.
3-4 Erratic fuel flow readings:
a The Flow filter value is not suitable for the
engine. Check that the value is not set to
zero, then try increasing the value until a
steady flow rate is shown (see section 14- 4).
b The fuel flow sensor(s) may be too close
to the fuel pump or may be subject to
excessive vibration. Refer to the fuel sensor
installation manual.
c Check for leaks in the fuel line or in the fuel
pickup in the tank.
3-5 There is no reading for fuel economy:
a The boat must be travelling through the
water to have a reading.
b If you selec ted a paddlewheel sensor (see
section 10-5-1), check that the paddlewheel
spins freely.

TRACKER 5505/5505i/5605 Installation and Operation Manual
The boat is sailing from the start to the destination and has moved off the plotted course from the
start to the destination.
BRG Bearing to Destination: Bearing to the destination from the boat.
BRG Bearing to cursor: Bearing to cursor from boat (cursor mode, see section 3-2)
CDI Course Deviation Indicator: When the boat is navigating to a point, the chart and highway
displays show a parallel line on either side of the plotted course. These two lines are called
the Course Deviation Indicator (CDI) lines. The distance from the plot ted course to a CDI line
is the CDI scale.
Set the CDI scale (see section 14-2) to the maximum distance that the boat should deviate
from the plotted course. The chart and highway displays show the CDI lines, which are like
a highway over the water where the boat will move. The displays show how far the boat has
deviated from the plotted course and if the boat is approaching a CDI line. If the XTE alarm is
enabled (see section 14-7) an alarm will sound if the boat reaches a CDI line.
COG Course Over Ground: Direction in which the boat is moving over the ground.
CTS Course To Steer: Optimum course to steer to return to the plotted course.
DTG Distance To Go: Distance from the boat to the destination.
ETA Expected Time of Arrival: At the destination, assuming that SOG and COG remain constant.
RNG Range to cursor: Distance from boat to cursor (cursor mode, see section 3-2)
SOG Speed Over Ground: Current boat speed over the ground. This is not necessarily the same as
the boat speed through the water nor the speed at which it is approaching the destination.
STR Steering: The difference between COG and CTS.
TTG Time To Go: The estimated time to reach the destination.
XTE Cross Track Error: The distance from the boat to the nearest point of the plotted course. XTE
may have a letter: R means steer to the right to return to the plot ted course, L means steer to
the left.
VMG Velocity Made Good: The speed at which the boat is approaching the destination.
