Many users will just want to display messages from the nearest NAVTEX station, or
only from stations that provide information in their cruising area. This is easily
achieved by connecting a GPS receiver and letting the NAV6 system automatically
make the best selection.
Go to the [NAVTEX Mode⇒
⇒⇒
⇒Filter View⇒
⇒⇒
⇒490 or 518 Stns Page].
Select the required 'active preset number' (use preset 1 if you are just starting for the
first time).
Use the LEFT or RIGHT key to move between the 'In Range' or 'Nearest'
setting.
Provided all the station names have ‘Auto’ next to them and the GPS position
fix is valid, an asterisk will appear to the right of the currently selected station
names.
Ensure that all the stations that you want to view have a asterisk by them.

To do this, move the cursor over the station name and use the LEFT & RIGHT cursor
keys to change between ON, OFF (or back to AUTO).
You may wish to set your ‘home’ station to always 'ON' so that you can display its
