New DGPS stations
The following new DGPS stations have been added: In Russia,
these are "Baltijsk," "Shepelevskiy," "Set. Navolock," and
"Dgedginsky." In Finland, "Outokumpu" and "Turku" have been
added, and "Mantyluoto" and "Puumala" have been updated. In
Estonia, "Ristna" has been added.
New DGPS status message
The DGPS status message TOO FEW SATELLITES is now being
displayed on the DGPS STATUS screen. This message means
there are too few satellites for a DGPS fix.
Change to RMC sentence display
Starting at 12:01 AM on January 1, 2000, the RMC sentence
(defined as Recommended Minimum specific GPS/transit data
sentence C), which displays the year using two digits, will display
year as 00. Because all other NMEA 0183 sentences use four
digits, they will display year as 2000.
New TLL sentence
Versions 2.10 and later now support the NMEA TLL sentence,
sometimes referred to as the "rattle" sentence. This sentence
allows the 941 to communicate its position to an interfaced radar
device, which tracks a user-defined target. In turn, the interfaced
radar device communicates to the 941 the target's position—in
lat/lon coordinates—so that you can see the target symbol,
displayed as a waypoint, right on the CHART screen (after you
save the position).
The target symbol is displayed with the name -RADAR on the
CHART screen as well as on both the alpha and local waypoint
lists (to access these lists, press the WAYPTS/ROUTES key, the
WAYPT LIST key, and the NEXT LIST key until you reach the
desired list). On the alpha and local lists, the -RADAR waypoint is
displayed with the hours/minutes/seconds/day/month/year (for
example, 12:50:20-30JUN95) in the description field.
