Static Navigation
When the boat stops or moves very slowly,
the calculated GPS speed and course become

values to be filtered:

this, the speed is displayed as zero and the
course stays unchanged.
• 0 (Off): The calculated speed and course are
always used.
Speed and Course Filter
Waves and wind cause the boat speed and
course to fluctuate slightly. To give stable
readings, the Instrument calculates these values
by taking several measurements and averaging
them.
A lower value averages measurements over
a shorter period of time. This gives the most
accurate value but has the most fluctuations.
A higher
