Station Keeping
There may be a time when you want to maintain your position at a
given location in open water. Some applications for this need may be:
¾
Staying over a dive wreck.
¾
Staying over a fishing hole.
¾
Recovering an oceanographic survey point.
You can easily accomplish this task by two methods: by placing the
marker in
PLOT2
on the location you want to maintain and by refer-
ring to the bearing and range in
PLOT2
to maintain the position. If you
are placing and recovering crab pots along a course line, you can enter
your course in the
RTE1
screen, then place the marker at each crab pot
in turn.
You can also select
WPT Pass Criterion: Distance to WPT
in the
CFG1
Navigation
screen and set the
WPT Pass Distance: 0.00;
or set the
WPT Pass Criterion
to
Manual
.
By doing this and putting the coordinate you want to maintain in the
RTE1
screen, you will always get the bearing and distance to the
waypoint in the
PLOT1
and
NAV
screens, regardless of your angle of
