when the cursor is placed on points, on lines (as Depth contours, Traffic
Separation, Territorial Sea, Cartographic Lines etc.) on areas (Depth, Built-up,
Sea, Attention, Restricted etc.) and on names (on the beginning of the text -hot

Speed : Selects the unit for Speed among Kts, Mph, Kmh.
Depth : Selects the unit for Depth among Ft, FM and Mt.
Altitude : Selects the unit for Altitude of GPS Antenna on the medium sea level. The
available choices are Ft, FL and Mt.
Fuel : Selects the unit for Fuel between Liters or Gallons.
Temperature : Selects the unit for Temperature between F or C degrees.

4.5 NAVIGATION
To handle the functions related to navigation:
[MENU] + "SETUP" + [ENTER] + "NAVIGATION" + [ENTER]
Coordinate System : The possible choices are ddd mm ss (degrees, minutes and seconds), ddd
mm.mm (degrees, minutes and hundred of minutes), ddd mm.mmm (degrees,
minutes and thousands of minutes), TD (TD function allows converting GPS
coordinates to Loran-C coordinates and vice versa, see TD).
Fix Datum : Sets the datum reference used by the GPS receiver connected to (or integrated
in) the chart plotter so that the chart plotter converts the position received from
the GPS to the Map Datum currently selected in the menu in order to match the
position from the GPS with the position on the charts. You must know what
datum reference is used by the GPS and set it in the Fix Datum option.
Map Datum : Allows selecting any Geodetic Datum reference from the over 100 available on
the chart plotter. Map Datum selection switches to the selected reference datum
applying the datum offsets stored with the charts.
Fix Correction : Turns On/Off the Correction from the positioning system. If the new Correction
is calculated, but the Correction is not enabled, the ship's position is not
changed.
Compute Correction : Corrects fixes from the positioning instrument. By placing the cursor on the
ship's real position and selecting this option, the error is calculated and
internally memorized for appropriate correction, but not applied.
Correction Offset : Allows manual correction of fix position. The correction is entered as X, Y offset
in minutes and thousand of minutes +/- 9.999.
