  • Navigation
    • Green Nav Global - The navigation reference frame is in global coordinates and based on either GPS or DVL tracking.
    • Yellow Nav Local - The navigation reference frame is in local coordinates and based on DVL tracking.
    • Red Nav Fault - The navigation system is unable to track the position of the ROV.
  • In Position
