4.4 Track Plotting Method,
Interval
In drawing the track, first the ship’s position
(fed from the DGPS/GPS receiver, WAAS) is
stored into the unit’s memory at an interval of
time or distance. A shorter interval provides
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.
