MARPA
The Mini Automatic Radar Plotting Aid (MARPA) function helps with collision
avoidance. MARPA can track up to 10 designated targets. Detailed information
including bearing, range, course, speed, closest point of approach (CPA), and time
to closest point of approach (TCPA) for each target is shown in the MARPA list.
NOTE: MARPA requires the use of a heading sensor. The heading sensor
must output the NMEA sentence HDM or HDG at format 0183, v2.30 or
higher. The Gamin Marine Network has been tested using the KVH
®
1000
heading sensor using six second dampening.
MARPA relies on a Heading Sensor to provide accurate own vessel heading
information. Accurate heading data enhances MARPA’s performance. Each target
being tracked by MARPA is represented by a symbol. The symbols indicate the
current state of the target.

For each target, a number and Vector Line is shown with the symbol. The number
is the MARPA list ID number. The Vector Line is a visual reference of the target’s
course and speed.
To designate a MARPA target:
1. Use the
ROCKER to move the pointer to the target location.
2. Press the
Acquire Target soft key.
While a target is acquired, a red box appears around the target. When MARPA
begins tracking the target, the red box is replaced with the appropriate symbol.
