The
conventional use of the TTM message is to carry the information on a ‘tracked’ target
generated by the ARPA section of a radar on the ship where it is being used. Usual usage
on the ship is to convey the target information to an ECDIS or ECS for display on the
navigational chart. However, when the TTM message is used from the GNSS rover
receiver, it is not intended to be used in this manner. An example of the intended use is to
give MBRTK users ASCII access to the rover - base distance; for example, where the
rover is mounted on a seismic cable tail buoy with TTM message sent back to the vessel
by radio.
