Appendices Definitions Altitude: Distance above mean sea level. BRG: The compass direction from current position to next waypoint or the destination. COG: Course over ground. Your direction of movement relative to a ground position. Coordinate: A set of numbers that describes your location on or above the earth. Course: GPS uses “Course” to define the movement direction of receiver on the globe surface instead of navigation direction. Datum: A math model designed to fit part of the earth’s surface.
Appendices Definitions Route: A route consists of start point, end point and in-between waypoints. A single route is a kind of simple route only having start point and end point, in another word it is a “Goto” route. Route can also be made up of several legs from one waypoint reaching up to 20 other different waypoints. SOG: Speed over ground. The actual speed the E-trace is moving over the ground. This may differ from airspeed or nautical speed due to such things as sea conditions or head winds.
Appendices Troubleshooting 1. The screen is blank after you press the POWER keypad. • Wrong batteries installation or no enough power.
