Simulation
Used in order to use your chartplotter without input data. It generates a display with a moving vessel,
so that you can practice using the controls in safety.
Simulation Mode
Enables (On) or disables (Off) the Simulation. The default setting is Off.

SNR = Signal to Noise Ratio
The ratio of the magnitude of a signal that of the noise (interference).
SOG = Speed Over Ground
A calculation of the rate of movement of the ship over the ground.

Shows the graph of the Vessel Speed received from the NMEA Port. Pressing 'ZOOM IN'/'ZOOM OUT'
changes the time scale.

Speed
The current velocity at which you are travelling, relative to a ground location.
Speed Filter
Turns On/Off the Speed Filter. When it is On, you can filter the speed of the ship, to optimize it. The
default setting is Off.

Speed (Simulation)
Sets the value for speed in the Simulation mode. The default setting is 01.0 Kts.

Speed (Unit)
Sets the speed unit among Kts = knots, Mph = miles per hour e Kmh = kilometers per hour. The default
setting is Kts.

Spot Soundings
Turns On/Off the displaying of Spot Soundings (the depth of the water in a specific and charted
position). The default setting is On.

Static Navigation
Sets up a threshold for the speed. When the speed received from the positioning device is under that
threshold, the chartplotter displays zero. The default value is On.

Step Unit (Track)
Choose Distance (Dist) - the chartplotter can store a fix when the distance from its last stored position
is greater than a defined distance; Time - the chartplotter can store a fix after a defined time; Auto -
the software decides when storing a position, on the basis of the straight or curved Track. The default
setting is Time.
