VIRTUAL INSTRUMENTS
Seatrack’s Virtual Instruments function enables selected navigational, tactical and performance information to be displayed in either digital or analogue formats. This can be transmitted to a PDA, so that it is available on deck.
The image shows five virtual instruments (true wind direction, true wind speed, tidal rate,
tidal set and header/lift) overlaid on a chart
The Virtual Instruments to be displayed can be selected from a total of 42 different data items. These include, for example:
- True wind direction
- Tidal set
- True wind speed
- Tidal rate
- Header/lift
- Course to steer
- Next leg apparent wind angle
