speed over ground to the speed you are doing through the water is a key
tactical tool. This is particularly so in strong tidal waters and at night, when the
only indication that the tide has changed and you are no longer making
progress is the speed over ground.
2.11.31 Stored Log
Menu Heading: LOG
Function Text: STD LOG
Update Rate: Once per second
Units: Nautical miles
The stored log runs continually, and is always available as an accumulative
total of the boat's miles. It is not resettable, the trip log is used for this
purpose.
Normally the Log function displays nautical miles to two decimal places, i.e.
99.99nm (maximum). One press of the Enter Key expands the display to
0099nm giving a maximum available display of 9999nm if required.
2.11.32 Tidal Set and Drift
Menu Heading: NAVIGATE
Function Text: TIDE SET or TIDE RTE
Update Rate: Once per second
Units: Degrees magnetic, knots
Notes
1. Damping 0-99 minutes.
2. Calibration: Magnetic variation.
3. Some position fixers output the current local magnetic variation on the
NMEA 0183 port using either HVD, HVM, RMA or RMC sentences. As a
result, CAL VAL 1 on the TIDE SET function will automatically set to the
correct variation.
Your position fixer will either supply a true or magnetic bearing to the Hydra
2000. If it supplies true bearing then you must enter the magnetic variation
into the Hydra 2000. It is found in the menu under:
