Displaying Position, Cog, And Speed; Using Gps - NorthStar 6000i Quickstart Manual And Reference Manual

Displaying position, COG, and speed

The 6000i uses a high-performance GPS
receiver as its primary source of position
data, with accuracy enhanced by either the
WAAS satellite system, or an optional
radiobeacon differential receiver, or both.
Depending on the additional optional
receivers that are connected, the 6000i can
determine and display position coordi-
nates in several different ways:

Using GPS

Position, COG, and SOG are calculated
from the received satellite data, as well as
time and date. To display this position
information numerically, press the
POSITION key.
You'll see your lat/lon coordinates on the
GPS POSITION
You can display lat/lon as either degrees,
minutes, and seconds, or as degrees,
minutes, and thousandths of minutes. For
instructions, see Changing your display
settings, starting on page 154.
