Navigational Data in ECDIS:

Position Source:

Electronic Position Fixing System (EPFS):

Sensors:
- GPS,DGPS,PGPS,GLONASS,GNNS
- Gyro and SpeedLog

Position, Course Over Ground (COG) and Speed Over Ground

(SOG) data from the EPFS, and calculated to the Consistent
Common Reference Point (CCRP).

Set+Drift can be calculated by ECDIS using the HDG and COG

vectors.

Dead Reckoning (DR):

- Gyro and Speedlog

Position calculated using Log Speed Through the Water

(STW) , True Heading from Gyro (+ Gyro Error
compensated) and elapsed time.

Estimated Position (EP):

- Gyro and SpeedLog

- Drift

Position/Course & Speed Made Good (CMG,SMG) Calculated using DR and Drift.
Drift direction and speed is determined using either:
Last known/calculated Drift (EP:DRIFT),
Current Database (EP:Current)
Manual input value (EP:Manual)

Manual Position Fixing (visual/Radar bearing

LOPs,Radar Distance LOPs and Bearing &
Distance LOPs) can be used to correct the
calculated Estimated position.:

NOTE:
If No Gyro or SpeedLog information available;
manual values can be entered.
