Compass Heading
The compass off set compensates for fi xed errors (misalignment) between the compass sensor
and the direction of the boat.
To accurately enter a compass off set, the boat’s heading must be referenced to, for example:
a calibrated bowl compass.
The off set value will be the diff erence between the known source and the currently displayed
heading.
Enter this value as the off set in the compass heading fi eld 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.
 Note: The autopilot cannot be operated using COG as the heading source. COG cannot be
calculated when stationary.

From the time and date menu you can set your preferred time / date format and local time
off set. Once complete select Save to save your settings and exit.
 Note: Local time is calculated based on UTC provided via a GPS unit connected to the
network.
