Longitude – The longitude of the reference position. This may be typed in as
<degrees>:<minutes> followed by an E or W. If the E or W is missing, East is
assumed. Moving the cursor to another field will reformat the contents of this
field.
Get Current Position – Pressing or clicking on this button will transfer the
current GPS position into the Latitude and Longitude fields.
10.3.6.4.9 Anchor Watch Alert
The Anchor Watch Alert is very similar to the Outside Radius Alert, being tailored
to anchoring. It is used to signal an alert whenever the vessel moves a
programmable distance in any direction away from an anchor point (expressed
as a longitude and latitude). This alert is useful when the vessel is anchored or
moored and the vessel should not drift outside a perimeter and if it does, an alert
is activated. The point of reference can be selected from the current position or it
can be manually entered, or it may be entered by pressing a button on the
Anchor Watch Component (see section 9.5.2).
10.3.6.4.9.1 Instancing – Anchor Watch Alert
When editing an Anchor Watch Alert, the instance number of the GPS supplying
the vessel’s position must be specified.
10.3.6.4.9.2 Trigger Configuration – Anchor Watch Alert
While the units of the radius for the Outside Radius Alert are expressed in the
same units as distance (e.g. Nautical Miles), the units of the Anchor Watch Alert
are expressed in the same units as the depth (e.g. feet). This is more convenient
because the distance from the anchor will be related to amount of anchor chain
released, which in turn is related to the depth at the point of anchor.
