What Can My Nav4plus Do?
•
Out of the box, the Nav4plus prints all correctly framed NAVTEX
messages that it receives, regardless of station, message type
or error rate (< 33%). In order to reduce the number of
messages printed, the messages can be selected from the total
set of received messages by applying various filter settings
•
Station filters can be set-up to print messages from preferred
stations – for both 490 & 518kHz stations
•
Message type filters can be set-up to print only messages of
selected types – for both 490 & 518kHz operation
•
The NAV4plus has powerful automatic software features. These
are available as soon as you connect the NAV4plus to a GPS
with an NMEA data output or to an integrated navigation system
with NMEA output
Connecting the NAV4plus to its antenna via the NAV-490 converter
allows reception from either 490kHz or 518kHz. Please read the
NAV-490 section for further details. It is important to ensure that the
NAV4plus settings match the NAV-490 setting.
Connecting the NAV4plus to a GPS navigator will enable you to :
•
Print out the vessel’s position, course and speed at preprogrammed intervals
•
Automatically select the in-range NAVTEX stations. This reduces
the reception of unwanted distant stations (especially at night)
•
Alternatively, the NAV4plus can be set to receive only the
nearest NAVTEX station
• A list of GPS Waypoints can be printed on demand
Connect the Nav4plus to an integrated navigation system (which
also has an inbuilt GPS receiver) in order to print a logbook at preprogrammed intervals. The information printed will include the
following :
•
Position
•
Course & speed through the water
•
Log of distance travelled
•
Wind speed & direction
•
Depth
•
Date & time
