GPS SOG/COG Filter
The SOG/COG filter averages the velocity vectors to compensate for the
oscillating motion of the vessel, giving a clearer indication of the vessel’s
courseandspeed.ThefilterdoesnotaffectthecalculationoftheGPS position.
The velocity vectors calculated from the GPS Signal give an instantaneous
measure of speed and direction of the GPS antenna. The COG and SOG can
therefore seemerratic under certain conditions. For example, when a vessel is
moving slowly through rough seas, the antenna moves from side to side as
well as in the direction of the vessel.
Slow moving vessels, or vessels sailing in rough seas will benefit from a high
setting,whereasapower boatthatcan quicklychange speedand directionwill
benefit from a low setting.
Select the SOG/COG filter setting as required. This can be set to HIGH,
MEDIUM or LOW.
Compass Set Up
This option is used to calibrate a Raymarine heading sensor such as the
Pathfinder Smart Heading System. Controls are provided for Linearise
Compass which detects and corrects for heading errors caused by metal
objects, and Align Heading which matches the displayed heading to a known
heading or transit.
Refer to the Handbook supplied with your heading sensor for more details.

selected language will be used for screen text, labels, menus and options, but

language setting also affects the display format for lat/long position
information.
