If not navigating the heading up orientation is used until navigation is started. Look ahead Moves the vessel icon closer to the bottom of the screen so that you can maximize your view ahead. Displaying information about chart items When you select a chart item, a waypoint, a route, or a target, basic information for the selected item is displayed.
Ú Note: You must have a SIRIUS data package subscription to search for fueling stations and an AIS receiver connected to search for vessels. 3D charts The 3D option provides a three dimensional graphical view of land and sea contours. Ú Note: All chart types work in 3D mode, but without 3D cartography for the appropriate area the chart appears flat. When 3D chart option is selected, the Pan and the Rotate icons appear on the right side of the chart panel.
4 Waypoints, Routes, and Tracks Waypoints A waypoint is a user generated mark positioned on a chart, or on the Echosounder image. Each waypoint has an exact position with latitude and longitude coordinates. A waypoint positioned on the Echosounder image has a depth value, in addition to position information. A waypoint is used to mark a position you later may want to return to. Two or more waypoints can also be combined to create a route.
Edit a waypoint You can edit all information about a waypoint from the Edit Waypoint dialog. This dialog is activated by selecting the waypoint's pop-up, or from the menu when the waypoint is activated. The dialog can also be accessed from the Waypoints tool on the Home page. Routes A route consists of a series of routepoints entered in the order that you want to navigate them. When you select a route on the chart panel it turns green, and the route name is displayed.
Edit a route from the chart panel 1. Select the route to make it active. 2. Select the route edit option in the menu. 3. Position the new routepoint on the chart panel: - If you set the new routepoint on a leg, a new point is added between existing routepoints. - If you set the new routepoint outside the route, the new routepoint is added after the last point in the route. 4. Drag a routepoint to move it to a new position. 5. Save the route by selecting the save option in the menu.
5 Navigating The navigation function included in the system allows you to navigate to the cursor position, to a waypoint, or along a predefined route. If autopilot functionality is included in your system, the autopilot can be set to automatically navigate the vessel. For information about positioning waypoints and creating routes, refer to "Waypoints, Routes, and Tracks" on page 20. Navigation panels The Nav panels can be used to display information when you are navigating.
4 Bearing to next routepoint 5 Bearing line with allowed off course limit When travelling on a route the bearing line shows the intended course from one waypoint towards the next. When navigating towards a waypoint (cursor position, MOB or an entered lat/lon position), the bearing line shows the intended course from the point at which navigation was started towards the waypoint. 6 Vessel symbol Indicates distance and bearing relative to the intended course.
6 Autopilot If an AC12N, AC42N or SG05 autopilot computer is connected to the system, autopilot functionality is available in the system. An Autopilot is designed to maintain an accurate course in various sea conditions with minimal helm movements. Safe operation with the autopilot Warning: An autopilot is a useful navigational aid, but DOES NOT replace a human navigator.
Autopilot indication on the pages 1 Autopilot indication in Status bar 2 Autopilot pop-up 3 Autopilot tile in Instrument bar Autopilot mode indication in the Status bar The Status bar shows autopilot information as long as an autopilot computer is connected to the network. Icons are included if the autopilot is passive or locked by another autopilot control unit. Autopilot pop up You control the autopilot from the autopilot pop-up.
Autopilot controller Mode selection Turn pattern selection Autopilot tile in Instrument bar You can select to show the autopilot tile in the Instrument bar. If the autopilot pop-up is turned off you can turn it on by selecting the tile in the Instrument bar. The Autopilot panel The autopilot panel is used to display navigation data. It can be shown as a full screen panel, or in a multi-panel page. The number of data fields included in the autopilot panel is dependent on available panel size.
7 Echosounder The Echosounder function provides a view of the water and bottom beneath your vessel, allowing you to detect fish and examine the structure of the sea floor. The Echosounder image 1 Depth 2 Temperature 3 Frequency and Zoom scale 4 Bottom 5 Zoom buttons 6 Depth Range scale 7 Instrument panel 8 Zoom column 9 Fish arches Viewing Echosounder history You can view echosounder history by panning the image. To resume normal scrolling, select the Clear cursor menu option.
Recording log data You can record data and save the file internally in the unit, or save it onto a card inserted into the unit's card reader. Select the Log sonar menu option, and then Record in the Record Echo dialog. When the Echosounder data is being recorded, there is a flashing red symbol in the top left corner and a message appears periodically at the bottom of the screen.
8 DownScan DownScan provides detailed images of structure directly below your boat, down to 92 m (300 ft). The DownScan page is accessed from the Home page when the DownScan transducer is connected.
9 AIS If an NAIS400, an AI50 or an NMEA 2000 VHF that can do AIS (Automatic Identification System) is connected to the network, then any targets detected by these devices can be displayed and tracked. You can also see messages and position for DSC transmitting devices within range. AIS targets can be displayed as overlay on chart images, making this feature an important tool for safe travelling and collision avoidance.
Symbol Description Lost AIS target. When no signals have been received within a time limit, a target is defined as lost. The target symbol represents the last valid position of the target before the reception of data was lost. Selected AIS target, activated by selecting a target symbol. The target returns to the default target symbol when the cursor is removed from the symbol. AIS SART When an AIS SART (Search and Rescue beacon) is activated, it starts transmitting its position and identification data.
10 Instrument panels The Instruments panels consist of multiple gauges - analog, digital and bar - that can be customized to display selected data. The Instruments panel displays data on dashboards, and you can define up to ten dashboards within the Instruments panel. Ú Note: To include fuel/engine information, engine and tank information has to be configured from the Settings panel. Dashboards A set of dashboard styles are predefined to display vessel, navigation, and angler information.
11 Audio If a SonicHub server or a FUSION marine entertainment system is connected to the NMEA 2000 network, you can use the GO7 to control and customize the audio system on your vessel. Before you can start using your audio equipment, it must be installed according to the GO7 Installation manual and to the documentation included with the audio device.
