NAVIGATE MODE
Navigate Mode is only available if there is a GPS or other source of
NMEA 0183 data connected to the Nav6plus NMEA input.
The GPS icon in the status bar at the top of the display will be
illuminated only if there is position data available on the NMEA input.
There are five fixed-format Navigate data display views and four user
configurable views. These can be selected from within the Navigate
Mode using the
VIEW softkey. The five fixed views are:
Position View
Combined View
Waypoint View
Conning View
Log View
The user configurable views are User 1 View, User 2 View, User 3
View and User 4 View.
(Tip: Disable views that are not required, in [Setup Mode⇒
⇒⇒
⇒Navigate
⇒

⇒Options Page and Setup Mode⇒

⇒Navigate⇒

⇒User View Page]).
(Tip: Display units can be changed in the Navigate Options page).
Note: Data fields that are not available on the NMEA input are
indicated by a series of dashes (e.g. ---.--).
Important
• The correct magnetic variation must be input at the navigation
instruments (e.g. GPS, electronic compass) for the accurate
display of COG, set, waypoint bearing and heading.
• For the purposes of testing your installation, you may wish to use
your GPS’s simulator mode to generate data for the Nav6plus.
Please check your GPS User Manual to find out whether it
transmits valid NMEA data whilst it is in its simulator mode –
many GPS’s do not set the ‘data valid’ flag in the NMEA
sentences during simulation. As a safety feature, the Nav6plus
will ignore any NMEA sentences where the ‘data valid’ flag is not
set.
• The Nav6plus has a built in NMEA simulator mode – please
ensure that it is switched OFF in normal operation.
