Anchor watch Select Anchor watch from the Main Menu. Note - Before you anchor, see SOG (Speed Over Ground) and depth information to determine when it is safe to anchor. As you drop the vessel's actual anchor, select the Drop or Weigh Anchor icon (5) at the same time to start the Anchor watch monitoring. Once anchored, you may fine tune the anchor position by using the Anchor Move icon (6). Change the Alarm Radius (7) or change the display orientation (14) (north-up or heading-up). If the vessel moves (drags) outside of the Guard Zone radius, the alarm will sound alerting that your anchor is dragging. Eg: See the position of the vessel (12). The alarm has sounded, the radius is red indicating the vessel has dragged outside of the set radius. Select the Drop or Weigh Anchor icon (5) as you weigh anchor to deactivate Anchor watch. Anchor watch via the Cortex Onboard App Anchor watch can be accessed and controlled from your phone with the Cortex Onboard App while on board your vessel, or remotely using the Cortex Monitor App. Cortex Onboard uses WiFi from your M1 hub to connect. Cortex Monitor uses cellular coverage to send information from your M1 hub to your phone. Anchor Watch is available on a Cortex Monitor Premium Subscription. 14
