nderstand Data Box Digital Readouts
The table below displays the basic data box options that are shown in the Standard data bar and the Navigation data bar, as well as
the additional data box options for vessel, wind, and engine. The data box options are determined by the installed equipment and the
selected sources on the network. Your control head provides a wide variety of data box options, more than the information shown
h
ere.
The number on the data label (Temp 1, Temp 2, Temp 3, etc.) corresponds with the source number. For more information about
sources and networking, see Installation Information, Set up your NMEA 2000 Network, and Set up your Humminbird Network:
Select Data Sources.
Label Name Description Data Type
Alt Altitude The height measurement above sea level. Vessel
AWA Apparent Wind Angle The direction of wind relative to the bow of the vessel. Wind
AWS Apparent Wind Speed The speed of wind with respect to the speed of the vessel. Wind
Brg Bearing
The compass direction from the vessel position to the next waypoint
or route point.
Navigation
Brg (End) Bearing (To End)
The compass direction from the vessel position to the final point in a
route.
Navigation
Course Course
The intended direction of travel measured between the start point and
end point.
Navigation
CMG Course Made Good
The bearing from your starting position to the present vessel position.
The goal is to have CMG and Track equal to the same number.
Navigation
COG Course Over Ground
The current direction the boat is traveling measured in degrees from
North. When the COG is equal to Bearing, the boat is said to be on
course and will arrive at the destination in the most efficient manner.
Vessel
CTS Course to Steer
The heading that must be maintained in order to reach the planned
destination.
Navigation
Depth (#) Depth
The depth of the water from the transducer or digital depth sensor to
the bottom. This measurement includes the depth offset setting.
Depth
Dest Wpt ID Next Waypoint
The next point (waypoint, route point, Man Overboard point, etc.)
that the vessel is navigating towards in a route or other navigation
mode.
Navigation
DBT Depth Below Transducer
The depth of the water below the transducer. This measurement
does not include the depth offset setting.
Depth
DMG Distance Made Good
The straight line distance actually traveled between the start position
to the current vessel position.
Navigation
DTG Distance to Go
The distance between the vessel position and the next waypoint or
route point.
Navigation
Eng Temp (#) Engine Temperature The engine temperature from the engine source. Engine
Eng Volt (1) Engine Voltage The power supplied to the engine source. Engine
ETA
Estimated Time
of Arrival
The estimated time of arrival to the next waypoint on the route. Navigation
