10.1 Overview
The display can be used to view marine safety information including weather forecasts
and marine warnings received from a Navtex receiver. You can select the type of
warning message that will trigger this alert on your display. Once you have read the
received message you can either erase or save it. Your system can store up to 100
messages. Once capacity is reached the oldest messages are automatically deleted to
allow for new incoming messages.
Major areas of NAVTEX coverage include the Mediterranean Sea, The North Sea,
coastal areas around Japan and areas around the North American continent.
