performance over a wide range of vessel speeds. If speed data is

available, the ST6000 Plus uses the measured vessel speed. Otherwise,

the Speed Over Ground (SOG) or specified cruise speed is used,

Waypoint arrival and advance

If your navigation receiver transmits valid NMEA waypoint number

and bearing to waypoint data, it is possible to advance from one

waypoint to the next by simply pressing track (only the last four

characters of waypoint names are recognied and, therefore, adjacent

waypoint names must be different.)

Arrival

As the vessel passes the target waypoint, the navigation receiver should

select (manually or automatically) the next target waypoint.

The ST6000 Plus detects the new target waypoint number, sounds the

Waypoint Advance alarm and displays the Waypoint Advance

information. This display shows the new bearing to waypoint and the

direction the boat will turn to acquire the new track.
