NMEA

Functions

Depending on the device connected to the NMEA interface the
following functions may be displayed by the Hercules System:

Bearing to waypoint, true, rhumb.

(BTW RMB T)

Bearing to waypoint, magnetic, rhumb. (BTW RMB M)
Bearing to waypoint, true, great circle. (BTW GC T)
Bearing to waypoint, mag., great circle. (BTW GC M)
Bearing from waypoint to waypoint, true. (BRG W/W T)
Bearing from waypoint to waypoint, mag. (BRG W/W M)
Distance to waypoint, rhumb line, Nm. (DTW RMB NM)
Distance to waypoint, great circle, Nm. (DTW GC NM)
Distance to layline, Nm.

(LAYLINE NM)

Course over ground, true.

(CRSE O/G T)

Course over ground, magnetic.

(CRSE O/G M)

Speed over ground in knots.

(SPD O/G KT)

Velocity made good to waypoint in knots. (VMG WPT KT)
Time to waypoint.

(TTG WPT MS)

Time to Layline

(TTG L/L MS)

Cross track error Nautical miles.

(CROSS TR NM)

Local time.

(LOC TIME MS)

Universal Coordinated Time

(UTC TIME MS)

In addition there are also a number of functions that can be input
through the NMEA interface that duplicate other h2000
functions. Details of all the input functions are given in
Paragraphs 5.10 – 5.13.

The NMEA functions may be called up to display in the same
manner as any h2000 function, see Chapter 2 - Operating
Information. Most of the NMEA functions are to be found in the
WAYPOINT Menu, but the time functions (LOC TIME and
UTC TIME) are in the TIME Menu. Only those functions that
are received by the h2000 System will appear in the display
menu and it may be necessary to wait a while after the NMEA
device has been switched on before the menu is complete. If no
data is received for a selected function after 15 seconds then the
display will show OFF.
