3.6.4 Track plotting method and interval for own ship track
In drawing the own ship track, first the ship’s position fed from position-fixing equipment is
stored into the unit’s memory at an interval of time or distance. A shorter interval provides
for better reconstruction of the track, but the storage time of the track is reduced. When the
track memory becomes full, the oldest track is erased to make room for the latest.
Track plotting method
Track may be plotted by time or distance. The default setting is “time.”
1. Press the
MENU key followed by the CHART SETUP and TRACKS & MARKS
CONTROL soft keys to open the TRACK CONTROL menu.
2. Use the Trackball to select INTERVAL.
