tion Data will be continuously sent to the Slave until the navigation is active. If the Master

is navigating to a Single Destination, the Slave will show the Destination position and acti-

vate the navigation to it. If the Master is navigating to a Route, the Slave will show the Route

Leg composed by the Destination and the Waypoint after the Destination (Next Waypoint)

and activate the navigation to it. Any variation to the current C-Link Navigation Data will

be transferred from the Master to the Slave. The Slave will be provided with a few dedicated

pages to show the C-Link Navigation Data received from the Master.

4.7.1 OPERATIONS

4.7.1.1 Introductive elements

It is important remark, once more, that this function does not transfer the whole

Route but just the information relative to the navigation. Such information will be removed

from the Slave chart plotter as soon as the navigation is terminated. C-Link Navigation

Data is exchanged by using two NMEA-0183 C-MAP proprietary sentences: $PCMPN,1

and $PCMPN,2. When the navigation is activated on the Master, it starts outputting the C-

Link Navigation Data. If the Slave is connected, all C-Link Navigation Data received are

stored in its memory and the navigation is started. The information sent by the Master

consists of the following values:

• Navigation mode (to Single Destination/to a Route )

• Route Name*

• Destination ID

• Destination Position

• Next Waypoint ID*

• Range from Destination to next Waypoint*

• Bearing from Destination to next Waypoint*

• Route Length*

• Distance from Destination to Last Route Waypoint*

• Remaining Route Legs*

• Planned Cruising Speed

• Average Fuel Consumption

• Initial Fuel Load

C-Link Navigation Data can refer to:

• Single Destination navigation

• Route Following navigation.

Values identified by * are sent only for Route Following navigation.

The Destination Icon, Navigation leg (Fix Position to Destination), the Next

Waypoint Icon and all other relevant C-Link Navigation Data will be shown on the Slave
