TRACKER 5600 Installation and Operation Manual

Important

It is the owner’s sole responsibility to install and use the instrument in a manner that will not cause accidents, personal injury or property damage. The user of this product is solely responsible for observing safe boating practices.

Global Positioning System: The Global Positioning System (GPS) is operated by the US Government which is solely responsible for its operation, accuracy and maintenance. The GPS system is subject to changes which could affect the accuracy and performance of all GPS equipment anywhere in the world including the TRACKER. Whilst the NAVMAN TRACKER is a precision navigation instrument, it can be misused or misinterpreted, which can result in its use being unsafe. To reduce the risk of misusing or misinterpreting the TRACKER, the user must read and understand all aspects of this Installation and Operation manual. We also suggest that the user practice all operations using the built in simulator before using the TRACKER at sea.

Electronic Chart: The electronic chart used by the TRACKER is an aid to navigation and is designed to supplement the use of official government charts not replace them. Only official government charts supplemented by notices to mariners contain the information required for safe and prudent navigation. Always supplement the information provided by the TRACKER with other plotting sources such as observations, depth soundings, radar and hand compass bearings. Should the information not agree then the discrepancy must be resolved before proceeding any further.

Fuel Computer: Fuel economy can alter drastically depending on the boat loading and sea conditions. The fuel computer should not be the sole source of information concerning available fuel onboard and the electronic information should be supplemented by visual or other checks of the fuel load. This is necessary due to possible operator induced errors such as forgetting to reset the fuel used when filling the tank, running the engine with the fuel computer not switched on or other operator controlled actions that may render the device inaccurate. Always ensure that adequate fuel is carried onboard for the intended trip plus a reserve to allow for unforeseen circumstances.

NAVMAN NZ LIMITED DISCLAIMS ALL LIABILITY FOR ANY USE OF THIS PRODUCT IN A WAY THAT MAY CAUSE ACCIDENTS, DAMAGE OR THAT MAY VIOLATE THE LAW.

Governing Language: This statement, any instruction manuals, user guides and other information relating to the product (Documentation) may be translated to, or has been translated from, another language (Translation).

TRACKER 5600 Installation and Operation Manual

1 Introduction

TRACKER chartplotters

NAVMAN’s TRACKER chartplotters are compact, ruggedly built, highly integrated navigation instruments. They have been designed to be easy to use. Complex navigation functions can be performed with a few key presses, taking the hard work out of navigation.

This manual covers the NAVMAN TRACKER 5600 chartplotter, which has a large, easy to read colour display and uses an external GPS antenna.

The TRACKER has a built-in chart of the world, suitable for route planning and general interest. To see chart details for a region, plug in a C-MAP™ chart card (an electronic chart).

The TRACKER receives information from the GPS system and displays the boat’s position and speed.

The TRACKER can navigate to a point or can navigate along a route. When the boat is navigating to one of

1-1 Care

Cleaning and maintenance

Caution should be used when cleaning the TRACKER, and especially the screen of the TRACKER. Only use a clean sponge or chamois soaked in fresh water and mild detergent. Never use a dry cloth as this may drag dried salt crystals across the screen resulting in scratching. Do not use any form of abrasive cleaner, solvent, petrol or other chemical cleaner.

Push the dust cover over the display when the TRACKER is turned off.

1-2 Plug-in cards

The TRACKER can use two kinds of plug-in cards:

C-MAP™ chart card have chart details required for navigating in a particular region. When a chart card is plugged in, the extra details automatically appear on the TRACKER’s chart display.

C-MAP™ user cards are used to store navigation data. Each user card expands the TRACKER’s memory and allows the data to be transferred to another TRACKER easily (see section 11).

Note: The older 5 volt cards are not supported.

When a card is inserted or removed it does not matter if the TRACKER is turned on or off.

these points, the TRACKER displays course information for the helmsman to follow.

The TRACKER can control an autopilot and can display depth information from a depth sounder. With an optional fuel kit, the TRACKER becomes a sophisticated yet easy to use fuel computer. Navigation data can be saved to a plug-in user card so that it can be easily transferred to another NAVMAN chartplotter.

The TRACKER is part of the NAVMAN family of instruments, which includes instruments for speed, depth, wind and repeaters. These instruments can be connected together to form an integrated data system (see section 14).

For maximum benefit, please read this manual carefully before installing and using the unit. Special terms are explained in Appendix C.

Plug-in cards

Handle plug-in cards carefully. Keep them in their protective cases when not plugged into the TRACKER.

If a card gets dirty or wet, clean it with a damp cloth or mild detergent.

Keep the card holder in place in the display unit at all times to prevent moisture from entering the card compartment.

The boat position .

The destination point marked with a circle.

The boat’s plotted course to the destination.

Two CDI lines, parallel to the boat’s plotted course (see Appendix C, CDI).

If the TRACKER is connected to an autopilot, the TRACKER will send data to the autopilot to steer the boat to the destination.

If the XTE alarm is enabled, an alarm will sound if the boat deviates too much from its intended course (to set the XTE alarm, see section 13-7).

3 If the arrival radius alarm is enabled, then,

when the boat comes within the arrival radius of the destination, an alarm will sound to show that the boat has reached the destination (to set the arrival radius alarm, see section 13-7).

4 To stop the Goto, see section 3-3.

Following a route

A route is a list of waypoints that the boat can follow (see section 10).

1 To create waypoints before creating the route,

use the waypoints display (see section 9-2-1).

2 To create a route, go to the chart or routes

display (see section 10-2-1).

3 To start the route, see section 10-3-1.

The chart, data and highway displays show navigation data. The chart shows:

The boat position .

The waypoint at the end of the current leg marked with a circle.

The boat’s plotted course along the leg.

Two CDI lines, parallel to the boat’s plotted course (see Appendix C, CDI).

If the TRACKER is connected to an autopilot, the TRACKER will send data to the autopilot to steer the boat to the destination.

If the XTE alarm is enabled, an alarm will sound if the boat deviates too much from its intended course (see section 13-7).

If the arrival radius alarm is enabled, then, when the boat comes within the arrival radius of the waypoint at the end of the current leg, an alarm will sound (to set the arrival radius alarm, see section 13-7).

4 The TRACKER stops navigating to the

waypoint at the end of the current leg and starts the next leg of the route:

a When the boat comes within 0.025 nm of

the waypoint.

b Or when the boat passes the waypoint.

c Or if the waypoint is skipped (see section

10-3-2).

5 When the boat has reached the final waypoint,

or to stop the boat following the route at any time, cancel the route (see section 10-3-3).

3-5 Tracks and tracking

Tracking records the boat’s position to memory at regular intervals, which can be:

Time intervals.

Or distance intervals.

The track of where the boat has been can be displayed on the chart. The TRACKER can display one track while recording another.

To work with tracks, (see section 13-5).

The TRACKER can store five tracks:

Track 1 can hold up to 2000 points and is intended to record the normal progress of the boat.

Tracks 2, 3, 4 and 5 can hold up to 500 points each and are intended to record sections to be retraced accurately, for example entering a river mouth.

Tip: Record the tracks in good conditions.

When recording is on and the track becomes full then recording continues and the oldest points in the track are deleted. The maximum length of a track depends on the selected track interval: a small interval will give a shorter, more detailed track and a long interval will give a longer, less detailed track, as shown in these examples:

To go to the fuel display, press DISP and select

The fuel display shows: Used: The total fuel used since it was reset to 0 by

the Clear Used command (see section 13-4).

Remaining: The amount of fuel remaining in the fuel tank(s).

Flow: The fuel consumption. For twin engine installations, the fuel flow for each engine is shown separately. This is useful for checking that both engines are under the same load.

Economy: The distance travelled per unit of fuel used. The units are set by the units selected for speed and fuel. Adjust throttle and trim for best economy. The bigger the number the better the economy.

Speed: Boat speed over ground.

Range: The estimated distance that the boat is able

to travel, based on fuel remaining and current fuel consumption.

Warnings:

Fuel economy can change drastically depending on boat loading and sea conditions. Always carry adequate fuel for the journey plus a sufficient reserve.

Each time fuel is added or removed use the fuel setup menu (see section 13-4) to record the fuel or else fuel remaining and the low fuel alarm will be meaningless!

7 Satellites

GPS worldwide navigation

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 exactly where it is on earth. This is called the GPS position.

The accuracy of the GPS position is typically better than 10 m (33 ft) for 95% of the time. A GPS antenna can receive signals from the GPS satellites when it is almost anywhere on earth.

GPS antennas

The TRACKER must be used with the external GPS antenna supplied. The TRACKER has a sensitive 12-channel receiver built in, which tracks signals from all satellites visible above the horizon and uses measurements from all satellites more than 5° above the horizon to calculate the position.

display.

DGPS

A DGPS system uses correction signals to remove some of the errors in the GPS position. The TRACKER can use one of two types 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 (16 ft) for 95% of the time.

WAAS covers all of the USA and most of Canada. EGNOS will cover most of Western Europe when it becomes operational about the end of 2003. To enable WAAS and EGNOS DGPS, (see section 13-3).

Differential beacon DGPS

Differential beacons are land based radio transmitters that broadcast correction signals that can be received by a special receiver on the boat. Differential beacons are usually only installed near ports and important waterways, and each beacon has a limited range. The accuracy of the corrected GPS position is typically better than 2 to 5 m (6 to 16 ft).

7-1 Satellite display

The satellite display has information about the GPS satellites and GPS position.

To go to the satellite display, press DISP and select

Satellite

The satellite display shows:

Time and date from GPS satellites. Time is local time (UTC [GMT] plus local offset, see section 13-9)

HDOP: The error in the GPS position caused by satellite geometry. A low value indicates a more precise fix, a high value a less precise fix

Signal strengths of up to twelve visible GPS satellites. The higher the bar the stronger the signal

Status of GPS antenna, for example Acquiring, GPS fix, No GPS. If the unit is in Simulate mode it displays Simulate (see section 2-6)

To use differential beacon DGPS, the TRACKER must be installed with an external DGPS antenna, such as the NAVMAN DGPS 1 (see section 15-3).

Startup

Each time a GPS receiver is turned on, it normally takes about 50 seconds before it outputs the first position. Under some circumstances it will take up to two minutes or longer.

When the TRACKER is turned on, the satellite display is shown automatically while the GPS antenna starts up.

Positions of visible GPS satellites:

Rotation

The options for chart 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 direction needs to change to make the chart redraw.

Tip: If the chart redraws too frequently,

increase the course deviation setting.

Course up

boat is navigating to a destination. The chart is rotated so that the plotted course to the destination is vertical.

Projected course

The TRACKER can estimate the course after a given time, based on the current speed and heading (see section 3-4). The options are 2 minutes, 10 minutes, 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours or Off.

CDI Scale

The CDI Scale is described in Appendix C, CDI. The options are 0.05, 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 4.0 and 10.0 distance units.

Plotter mode

Occasionally it is desirable to use a chart scale which is not available on a chart card. Examples are:

Map datum and map shift

Satellite derived positions on the TRACKER are based on a worldwide reference (datum) known as WGS84. Most paper charts are based on WGS84. However, some paper charts are not based on WGS84, which results in an offset between a position on the TRACKER and the same position plotted on the paper chart.

To match the TRACKER’s positions with a local chart that is not based on WGS84:

Either select for the local chart. See Appendix A for a list of the available datums. WGS84 is the default datum, and the datum most commonly used on paper charts.

Or, if the correct datum is not available, retain the WGS84 datum and apply a map shift (see below).

Map shift

Map shift is a correction applied to the TRACKER’s positions so that they match a chart’s positions.

Warning: Map shift is for eliminating minor offsets. It should not be used if the correct datum is available. Use map shift with caution: incorrect application will cause incorrect boat positions.

13-3 GPS setup

GPS Source

Disable or enable the TRACKER’s internal GPS receiver. Disable this if a non-standard GPS antenna that sends NMEA data is installed.

DGPS Source

Enables or disables the satellite based DGPS correction (see section 7). The options are None or WAAS/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. EGNOS will cover most of Western Europe when it becomes operational about the end of 2003.

Restart GPS

Restarts 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 section 7).

13-4 Fuel Setup

To use these fuel features first purchase and install the optional single or twin engine fuel kit.

Whenever fuel is added or removed from the tank, use this menu:

If the tank is filled, select Tank Full.

If the tank is partly filled or fuel removed:

1 Before adding or removing the fuel, go to

the fuel display and note how much fuel is in the tank.

2 Note how much fuel is added or removed.

3 Calculate how much fuel is now in the tank

by adding or subtracting the two figures.

4 Select this menu and enter how much fuel

is now in the tank in Set Remaining.

The actual water colours depend on the LCD colour scheme in use (see section 13-1).

Static Navigation

The displayed speed and course become erratic when the boat stops. Turn Static navigation On to display speed and course as zero when the boat is stopped.

Position, Speed and Course Filter

Waves and wind cause the boat position, speed and course to fluctuate slightly. To give stable readings, the TRACKER calculates these values by taking several measurements 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 Position, Speed and Course filters to the lowest values which give stable readings. The range of each filter is 1 to 60 seconds or Off (0).

Fuel Cal

Without calibration the error in fuel measurements can be up to ± 10%. Calibration can reduce the error substantially. For twin engine installations calibration of each transducer is required.

Calibrating the fuel transducer requires accurate measurement of the fuel used. This is easiest with a small portable tank. It should be noted that due to air pockets, it is very difficult to fill underfloor tanks to the same level twice. At least 15 litres (4 US gallons) should be used to ensure an accurate calibration. (The more fuel used, the more accurate the calibration will be.) Each transducer in a twin engine installation must be calibrated separately. This may be done at the same time with two portable tanks, or at different times using one tank at a time.

The procedure is: 1 Select 2 Connect the measurement tank(s) to the

Flow Filter

Normally engines do not draw fuel from the tank at a steady rate. To give a stable fuel flow reading, the TRACKER calculates the flow values by taking several measurements and averaging them. The flow filter sets the period over which the fuel flow is averaged, and can be set from 1 to 180 seconds or Off.

Set the flow filter to the lowest value which give a stable flow. Usually a value of 10 to 15 seconds will give a satisfactory result for carburettor engines. Fuel injected engines may require a larger value.

This setting affects the Flow rate and Economy displays. It does not affect the fuel used measurement.

Several NAVMAN instruments can be connected together to share data. There are two ways of connecting instruments together, NavBus or NMEA.

NavBus

NavBus is a NAVMAN proprietary system that allows systems of multiple instruments to be built using a single set of transducers. When instruments are connected by NavBus:

If the units, alarms or calibration are changed in one instrument, then the values will automatically change in all other instruments of the same type.

Each instrument can be assigned to a group of instruments (see section 13-8). If the backlight is changed in an instrument in group 1, 2, 3 or 4 then the backlight will automatically change in the other instruments in the same group.

NMEA

NMEA is an industry standard, but is not as flexible as NavBus as it requires dedicated connections between instruments. The TRACKER can:

Receive and display depth data.

Receive data from a GPS antenna.

Send GPS position and other navigation data to an autopilot or other instrument.

15 Installation

Correct installation is critical to the performance of the unit. There are two components to install, the TRACKER and a GPS antenna. In addition, install the optional fuel kit to use the TRACKER as a fuel computer.

The TRACKER can:

Drive external beepers or lights for the alarm. Send and receive data from other NAVMAN instruments connected via NavBus. The backlight setting is shared (see section 14). Send NMEA data to an autopilot or other instrument. Accept and display NMEA data from a depth sounder.

The TRACKER can be wired for auto power so that it automatically turns on and off with the boat power and can not be turned on or off manually. Wire auto power if the fuel option is installed, so that the TRACKER records all the fuel that is used (see section 15-3).

It is vital to read the entire installation section of this manual and the documentation that comes with the antenna and any other units before starting installation.

15-3 Installation

Warning: Ensure that any cut holes will not weaken the boat. If in doubt, consult a qualified boat builder or marine engineer.

Display unit

1 Find a suitable location for the display unit:

There are two mounting arrangements:

Flush mounting requires a solid panel with access behind for wiring and mounting screws. Bracket mounting requires a panel for mounting the bracket. The bracket can be

rotated and tilted. Choose a location that is easily seen and not exposed to the direct sun or water. If possible, mount the display unit in front of the navigator or to the left of the navigator because the LCD display is more readable from these positions. Keep the unit away from any source of electrical signals or noise.

2 For flush mounting:

i Cut a hole in the bulkhead for the display

unit using the flush mount template. ii Drill four holes for the mounting studs

using the flush mount template. iii Screw the four studs into the brass inserts

in the back of the display unit. iv Sit the display unit in place and fit the

washers and nuts to the studs. For bracket mounting: i Hold the bracket in place and mark the

screw holes. ii Drill the screw holes and screw the bracket

in place with the screws provided. Do not

overtighten the screws or the display unit

might not rotate.

Do not fit the display unit yet.

GPS antenna

1 Find a suitable location for the antenna:

Mount the antenna with a good view of the sky

and horizon. The view should not be blocked

by large parts of the superstructure.

The unit can be under glass, perspex,

fibreglass or fabric, but not under metal or

wood.

Mount the antenna away from any source of electrical signals or noise. Do not mount the antenna within 2 m (6 ft) of a radio transmitter antenna or within 0.5 m (20") of the plane of a radar antenna. Do not fit the antenna too high, such as up a mast, or rocking will cause errors in speed and bearing. Do not mount the antenna where it can be used as a hand hold, where it will interfere with the operation of the boat or where it might be submerged. The maximum antenna cable length is

15 m (49 ft). If a location might not be suitable, follow the installation instructions below but mount the antenna and antenna cable temporarily, without drilling any fixing holes. If the system does not work properly, change the antenna location until it works properly. Then install the antenna and cable permanently.

2 Fit antenna in place. 3 Run the cable between the antenna and the

display unit:

Keep the cable away from sources of

electrical signals or noise.

Do not cut the antenna cable; if necessary,

fit one 5 m (16 ft) extension cable.

Do not crush or pinch the antenna cable.

Secure the cable at regular intervals.

Optional fuel kit

Fit the fuel kit following the instructions that come with the kit.

Installation of a DGPS antenna

In areas where satellite differential (WAAS/EGNOS) is not available an optional combined GPS/DGPS antenna may be connected for enhanced accuracy when in range of conventional land based differential beacons. Please contact the nearest NAVMAN dealer for further information.

NAVMAN

TRACKER 5600 Installation and Operation Manual

Power/data cable for display unit

Wire the cable as shown on the next page.

Note:

The unit requires 12 V DC power. This power supply must be protected with a fuse or circuit breaker of between 2 and 3 A. If it does not have this, fit a 2 A fuse in the power supply line.

To enable auto power (see section 2-1), connect the yellow Power/data cable wire to the positive power supply as shown.

To disable auto power, leave the wire disconnected; make sure it can not touch any other conductor. If the external beepers and lights require more than 200 mA DC total, fit a relay. For information on how to connect NavBus, refer to the NavBus Installation and Operation manual.

Setup and test

1 Remove the dust covers from the connectors. 2 Plug the eight way connectors into their

sockets on the back of the display unit:

Match the colour on the end of the connector to the colour of the nut on the socket. Hold the plug against the socket and rotate the plug until it slides into the socket. Lock the plug in place by pushing the locking collar towards the socket and

turning it a quarter turn clockwise. Nothing will be damaged if a cable is plugged into the wrong socket by mistake.

3 If the unit has an external GPS antenna:

Plug the gold connector into its socket on

the back of the display unit.

Hand tighten the locking collar clockwise -

do not overtighten.

4 If the display unit is bracket mounted:

i Hold the display unit in place on the

mounting bracket shaft, with the rubber washer clamped between the bracket and the display unit.

ii Adjust the tilt and rotation of the display

unit for best viewing and hand tighten the knob.

5 Remove the dust cover. Turn the TRACKER on

(see section 2-1).

6 Insert any required C-MAP™ chart card (see

section 1-2).

7 When the TRACKER is turned on for the first

time, the TRACKER displays an installation menu of setup data: i Select the language to use. ii Change the setup data if necessary:

Select the data item to change. Use the cursor keys to change the data. Press ENT.

iii When the setup data is correct, press

ESC.

These installation options can be changed later, through the setup menu (see section 13).

8 At the satellite display, check that it picks up

GPS satellites. Wait for the GPS receiver to start up and the fix type to change from ‘Acquiring’ to ‘GPS fix’. This should take less than two minutes (see section 7).

9 If the TRACKER is to send NMEA data to an

autopilot, set this up (see section 13-8).

10 If the TRACKER is part of a NavBus system,

set the backlight group. Otherwise turn NavBus off (see section 13-8).

11 Go on a test run to check that the navigation

equipment works correctly, particularly when a radio transmitter or radar is used.

TRACKER 5600 Installation and Operation Manual

Appendix B - Troubleshooting

This troubleshooting guide assumes that you have read and understood this manual.

It is possible in many cases to solve difficulties without having to send the unit back to the manufacturer for repair. Please follow this troubleshooting section before contacting the nearest NAVMAN dealer.

There are no user serviceable parts. Specialised methods and testing equipment are required to ensure that the unit is reassembled correctly and is waterproof. Repairs to the unit must only be carried out by a service centre approved by Navman NZ Limited. Users who service the TRACKER themselves will void the warranty.

When contacting a NAVMAN dealer for service, quote the software version number and date which is given on the about display (see section 12).

More information can be found on our Website: www.navman.com

have a clear view of the sky. The satellite positions are constantly changing.

b Antenna cable not connected to display unit.

c Restart GPS (see section 13-3).

6 TRACKER GPS position different from true

position by more than 10 m (33 ft):

a TRACKER in simulate mode. Turn simulate

mode off (see section 13-11).

b The normal error in GPS position will exceed

10 m (33 ft) for about 5% of the time.

c Under special circumstances the US

Department of Defence may introduce a deliberate and changing error in the GPS positions of up to 300 m (1000 ft).

7 TRACKER position different from same

position on local charts:

a TRACKER in simulate mode. Turn simulate

mode off (see section 13-10).

b Incorrect chart datum. Select the correct chart

datum (see section 13-2).

c Map shift has been applied wrongly. Clear map shift,

then reapply if necessary (see section 13-2).

8 Can not see boat on chart:

Press ESC to switch to centre on boat mode (see section 3-1-1).

9 The time or date on satellite display is wrong

or off:

a No GPS fix.

b In simulate mode. Turn simulate mode off (see

sockets in display unit. Match the plug colours.

13 Fuel Used or Remaining seem wrong:

a The engine has been run while the TRACKER

is turned off and it has not recorded the fuel use. Wire the auto power option (see section 15-3).

b Fuel may be surging back and forward through

a transducer in rough seas. Try installing a one way valve between the fuel transducer and the fuel tank.

TRACKER 5600 Installation and Operation Manual

c Tank Full or Set Remaining has not been set

every refuelling.

d When refuelling, air pockets may have

prevented the tank filling completely.

e Fuel transducers wear out over time and

should be replaced every 5000 litres (1316 US gallons) of fuel as a guide.

14 No or low fuel flow reading:

a Check the fuel cable connectors are securely

plugged in and the locking ring is locked in place.

b Clogged fuel transducer. To clean a

transducer, remove it from the line and gently blow through it in the opposite direction to the fuel flow. Fit a fuel filter before the transducer.

c Inspect the fuel cable(s) for damage.

d Dirty fuel filter.

e Fuel transducer has been exposed to

excessive heat or vibration.

15 Only one flow rate value shown for a twin

engine installation:

Set Num Engines to 2 (see section 13-4).

16 Erratic fuel flow readings:

a The fuel transducer must not be mounted too

close to the fuel pump(s) and not subject to excess vibration.

b Check for air leaks in the fuel hose(s) or fuel

pick-up(s) in the tank(s).

c The Flow Filter has not been set to suit the

engine(s) (see section 13-4). Increase the Flow Filter value until a steady flow rate is indicated.

17 TRACKER operates erratically or

unexpectedly:

Setup data incorrect. Reset to factory defaults (see section 13-1).

Navigation data

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 3-1-1)

CDI Course Deviation Indicator When the boat is navigating to a point, the chart and highway displays

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 3-1-1)

SOG Speed Over Ground Current boat speed over the ground. This is not necessarily the same

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.

VMG Velocity Made Good The speed at which the boat is approaching the destination.

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 plotted course to a CDI line is the CDI scale.

Set the CDI scale (see section 13-2) 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 13-6) an alarm will sound if the boat reaches a CDI line.
