COG/SOG Display

This setting determines whether Course Over Ground and Speed Over Ground

(COG/SOG) data from the GPS is displayed on the bottom line of the dot matrix

display instead of the time of day. The menu setting “Bearing Mode“ on page 67

determines whether the True or Magnetic heading is displayed for COG. The

setting “Speed Unit“ on page 68 determines whether knots, MPH or KPH is used

for SOG.

Note:

If COG/SOG is set ON, TIME DISPLAY is automatically set to OFF. Because they oc-

cupy the same line on the LCD, only one of these two settings can be displayed at a time.

NMEA Output

When Distress Call and Position (lat/lon) information is received from other

stations, your Ray218E/Ray55E has the capability of forwarding this data to your

display unit (C Series, E Series, etc.) over the NMEA port so that it can be displayed

on the screen. You can specify which stations will have their position data and

Distress Call information sent to the display unit.

SEL OUTPUT

Use this option to select the stations for which you want incoming position data

and Distress Call information to be displayed.

1. From the GPS SETUP menu, select NMEA OUTPUT.
