GPS/Plotter/Radar
A GPS/chart plotter is an electronic system through
which a navigator can determine his position regard-
less of weather. The GPS sensor receives high
frequency radio signals generated from satellites to
generate coordinate readings on the display. The
GPS navigational unit takes this information and uses
it to determine the vessel’s exact position and indi-
cates the vessels position on the chart plotter. The
chart plotter allows one’s course to be plotted elec-
tronically. Factory installed GPS/Plotter system is
offered in the optional navigational packages. It is
mounted at the helm. If equipped, refer to the manu-
facturer’s literature included in the owner’s packet.
NOTICE
These devices are only an aid to navigation.
Their accuracy can be affected by many
factors including equipment failure or defects,
environmental conditions, and improper
handling or use. It is the user’s responsibility to
exercise common prudence and navigational
judgement. These devices should not be relied
upon as a sole means of navigation nor as a
. substitute for such prudence and judgement.
NOTICE
You should not rely on these displays as your
primary source of navigation. Rather, you
should use the chart plotter as a backup to
official government charts and traditional
methods of navigation.
