The dead reckoning feature can also be used as a training tool on land before using our software on the water. If you activate a route while "dead reckoning" all the navigation info updates just like it would if connected to a GPS. In "dead reckoning" the vessel will follow the active route, and stop when it reaches the end of the route. As the vessel passes waypoints, it changes speed to than on the next leg of the route.

To enable dead reckoning and set the course and speed, use the dead reckoning options.

Note: Be careful when enabling dead reckoning. If you use our software for navigation and your GPS fails, dead reckoning will take over and the vessel will continue on using the last known course and speed. The vessel's movement is not the actual position (since you're dead reckoning) and may lead to you to believe you're somewhere when you actually are not. In such a case, the results of your actions of steering you vessel will not be reflected in our software!
