5.11.1 How to set up ship's track
The track traces your ship's movement. This radar records track at the interval you set
on the [OWN TRACK] menu, and the recording interval determines the maximum re-
cording time. The longer the interval the longer the recording time, as shown in the
table below.
When the memory for track becomes full, the oldest track is deleted to make room for
the latest. For that reason you may want to adjust the recording interval so as to keep
the track on the display for a longer time.
1. Open the menu then select the [6 CHART DISPLAY] and
[1 OWN TRACK] menus.
2. Select [1 DISP OWN TRACK].
3. Select [ON] to show your ship's track or [OFF] to hide the
track.
4. Select [2 OWN TRACK SOURCE].
5. Select the navigation sensor that is to feed the position
data to use to plot your ship's track, among [PRIMARY],
[SECONDARY] and [SYSTEM].
PRIMARY: Navigation sensor having first priority.
SECONDARY: Navigation sensor having second priori-
ty.
SYSTEM: Plot own ship's track using system-fed posi-
tion.
6. Select [3 SAVE INTERVAL].
7. Select how often to save your ship's track, among [30s], [1min], [2min], [3min],
[6min] and [15min]. [DRAW ONLY] draws the track but does not save it.
8. For the B-type radar, you can select the color for the track with [5 OWN TRACK
COLOR].
9. Close the menu.
