Other Vessel Tracking works in conjunction with the Position Reporting
system, enabling the navigator or racer to monitor the positions of other
vessels traveling in company or under race conditions. It is accessed by
clicking on the Tools menu and selecting Other Vessel Tracking.
DataTrak Enhancements
The DataTrak module is a time-based, graphical recording system included
with RayTech Sail Racer and RayTech Fishing Pro Suites. DataTrak script
charts can be resized to fixed time intervals for quick data capture. This is
invaluable to the navigator in capturing data for target and polar calculations
or trying to ascertain minute changes in any recorded variable overtime.
Navigator 4.1 now allows for the display of DataTrak wand times. When
capturing data from the DataTrak, vertical frames can be inserted in the chart
delineating start and end points for the data capture. These lines, called
wands, represent a particular segment of time on the graph. The time interval
is reported at the top of the graph, in the blue status bar.
Animation Enhancements
When displaying weather layers on the chart you can animate the
information to view weather changes over time. To animate this data, display
weather layers information on the chart and select the Animation Toolbar
from the View menu. Then choose from the following items on the
Animation Toolbar. Features marked with an asterisk (*) are new to V4.1.
