4. United States Power Squadrons ® Chart Smart ® USPS ® America's Boating Club ® 4 / 23 Definitions  Dead Reckoning (DR) Calculating a boat's position based on its course, speed, and time run from a previous position  Dead Reckoning (DR) Track The intended course line of a vessel as plotted on a chart  DR Position The presumed position of a vessel on a DR track

5. United States Power Squadrons ® Chart Smart ® USPS ® America's Boating Club ® 5 / 23 Must start from a known position Can only restart from known position Use only true courses for labeling Use only speed through the water Calculate and plot DR position hourly Plot DR position at time of every change of course and speed Rules for Plotting “DR” Tracks
