Transas Marine Limited 10 Eastgate Avenue, Eastgate Business park, Little Island, Cork, Ireland [email protected] [email protected] www.transas.com www.transaspilot.com The GyroPilot uses the HDG information from the Pilot Plug’s AIVDO messages, as well as its own internal gyro, to calculate NMEA ROT messages. Since the AIVDO HDG messages are used to calibrate and bleed‐back the internal gyro, this means that the NMEA ROT messages produced are derived from both sets of information. Note, that the GyroPilot does not use ROT messages from the Pilot Plug for any calculations; however, it does pass on all AIS ...

Filtering of the Own Ship AIS target presentation will be switched on automatically after that. Filtering may be disabled by the deletion of the Own Ship MMSI number using the ...
