Compass Heading
The compass offset compensates for fixed errors (misalignment) between the compass sensor
and the direction of the boat.
To accurately enter a compass offset, the boat’s heading must be referenced to, for example:
a calibrated bowl compass.
The offset value will be the difference between the known source and the currently displayed
heading.
Enter this value as the offset in the compass heading field as a plus or minus integer up to
180º
USE COG as heading
If heading data is not available from a compass sensor it is possible to use course over
ground from a GPS. COG will be displayed as heading and used in the calculation of true
wind direction.
¼ Note: The autopilot cannot be operated using COG as the heading source. COG cannot be
calculated when stationary.
Time & Date
From the time and date menu you can set your preferred time / date format and local time
offset. Once complete select Save to save your settings and exit.
¼ Note: Local time is calculated based on UTC provided via a GPS unit connected to the
network.
