Frequently asked questions

Track mode is used to maintain a track between two waypoints created on a GPS, Decca, or Loran navigation system. The ST5000 Plus will then compute any course changes to keep your boat on track, automatically compensating for tidal streams and leeway.

The locked wind angle can be adjusted by changing course using the -1, +1, -10 and +10 keys. For example, to bear away by 10° when the vessel is on starboard tack, press -10 to turn the vessel 10° to port. The locked apparent wind angle and locked heading both change by 10°.

The ST5000 Plus has several alarms, including SeaTalk failure, off course, wind shift, large cross track error, drive stopped, data not received, waypoint advance, low battery, watch alarm, shallow alarm, and man overboard (MOB).
