5.4.3 CALIBRATION

The variation table is used to match magnetic value readout on the chart

plotter comparable with the value given by the compass of the boat. In other words,

since the compass of the boat must be compensated (due to the iron masses, ...), we

use the same values given by the chart plotter. This means that, for example, if the

BRG to the next Waypoint readout in the chart plotter display is "X" Mag degree, if

you steer the boat reading "X" Mag degree from the compass, you are driving well

toward the next Waypoint.
