When a global positioning system (GPS) connected to the SY50 system, the vessel’s current geographical position can be presented in the user interface. It will also provide latitude and longitude information for the cursor and marker(s). In addition to navigational data, the global positioning system (GPS) can also be used to provide speed information.
NoteMost global positioning system (GPS) can provide course information, but this data is generally too inconsistent to provide
a stable presentation on the SY50 system. This inconsistency is especially noticeable at low vessel speeds. Incorrect course information can then result in settings not working properly.
