Static Navigation
When the boat stops or moves very slowly, the
calculated GPS speed and course become erratic.
Static navigation allows the erratic values to be
filtered:
•
•
Speed and Course Filter
Waves and wind cause the boat speed and
course to fluctuate slightly. To give stable
readings, the Explorer calculates these values
by taking several measurements and averaging
them.
Set the Speed and Course filters to the lowest
values which give stable readings. The range of
each filter is 1 to 60 seconds or Off (0).
Tank full
Tells the Explorer you have filled a fuel tank (see
section 12-1).
Set remaining
Tells the Explorer you have added or removed
fuel (see section 12-1).
Northstar Explorer 650 Installation and Operation Manual
0.01 to 99.9: If the boat speed is slower than
this, the speed is displayed as zero and the
course stays unchanged.
0 (Off): The calculated speed and course are
always used.
A lower value averages measurements over
a shorter period of time. This gives the most
accurate value but has the most fluctuations.
A higher value averages measurements
over a longer period of time. This gives the
most stable value but will ignore some [true]
sudden speed changes.
WARNING
!
Fuel consumption can change drastically
depending upon the boat loading and the
sea conditions. Always carry adequate fuel for
the journey, plus a reserve.
