source of Log data

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum KShur,

Q: Can this be changed to use the GPS distance instead of the water speed?
A: No. While the Log, Trip, and Speed data items are exclusively designed to report distance and speed associated with a speed through water sensor, the GPS Log, GPS Trip 1/2/3/4, and SOG data items are exclusively designed to be populated from GPS data. Accordingly, you may want to consider configuring the MFD and/or i70 MFID to display the GPS Log, GPS Trip, and SOG data items instead of the Log, Trip, and Speed data items.
