Dead Reckoning function

Dead Reckoning calculates the ship position at any moment from a start position, a course and a speed.

It allows you to give to the ship, the position, the course and the speed that you want, when navigation inputs, such as GPS, are not available.

In this mode, you can simulate boat movement on your home computer, without GPS connection.

Note: the function calculation starts from the last position acquired by the GPS or simulated.

Note: MaxSea starts in acquisition mode by default.
