    Pinging line by RIB

    If we ping a fixed transit line by RIB, how do we put that into Exp so the Start function recognises the aerial/bow offset?

    Pinging a mark is pinging a mark - it doesn't matter what boat you do it from: the result is a long and lat of a mark position.

    The bow offset allows you to ping a mark some distance away from your actual gps position (typically a boat length) but it doesn't affect the position stored in Exp so that number can be taken from SIs, a hand GPS, or anything else.
