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.

arrows.
