Just had the first longer trip with all my new Furuno equipment and had some time getting used to it. All rather well, especially the radar is incredibly good.
But one thing I don't seem to get working for me is the trip counters and odometer. I had a route set up that was in total 272 miles and we were following it quite exactly, sailing at 6 to 9 knots all the time. But upon arrival both trip counters that were reset when we started showed 255.6 miles. The odometer increased by the same amount (255.6).
Both TZT2s show the same, but I think they are synchronised. Both recorded a track at 0.1 miles distance, which seemingly worked as expected.
GPS positions come from a Thrane LT1000 NRU which seems to work rather precise and sends position and heading updates at 10Hz.
Now looking back a few days, we traveled a route of 29.2 miles and counted 27.5 miles on the odometer.
Any ideas?
