Quick Start guide for the Maxi And Dual Maxi Display
Optimising your start with the Maxi Display
The Maxi display provides three functions to help you get a great start:
The Depart page
Approaching the start, it is vital to know your distance from the line and
whether you will arrive before or after the signal.
The large digits show your distance from the nearest point on the line in
distance units or boat-lengths. A negative distance shows that the boat
is to windward of the start line, not that the boat is on the course side of
the line; i.e. for a downwind start, a negative distance shows you are
approaching the line correctly.
The small digits show the change in speed (in speed units) required for you to arrive
at the line at the signal; a negative value means that you must decrease your speed
to avoid arriving early.
These calculations rely on GPS data, so they are subject to error, particularly as
the distance from the line becomes small. Do not rely on this information to
determine if you are over the line at the start. Rather, you should use the data to
help optimise your approach to the line.
To initialise the Depart page:
With the depart page displayed, approach one end of the start line as if starting;
press when the bow touches the line. A popup page shows that the first line
position has been captured. Repeat at the other end of the line. The popup shows
the second line position has been captured.
Set your points as close to the ends of the line as possible.
To modify the start line points:
To modify one of the points, press
show that position 1 has been captured. Pressing
the captured location to position 2. or to discard it (-).
The position is captured at the moment
