Moving card analogue meter available.

This is your compass heading, derived directly from the
Halcyon Gyro Stabilised Compass, Halcyon 2000 Compass
or valid NMEA heading input which allows calculation of
true wind direction, dead reckoning and other course related
navigation functions.

Heading fulfils a very important tactical role, and it does
this best when connected to the Halcyon Display. This
permanently shows heading in a digital form and has a
segmented bar graph display to show off course.

This informs you of the heading you would be sailing on the
opposite tack, and can therefore be used in conjunction with

layline. This is calculated from the true wind angle and
compass heading.
