Configuring the Heading Source of the Wind Gauge

You can specify the source of the heading displayed on the wind gauge. Magnetic heading is the heading data received from a heading sensor, and GPS heading is calculated by your chartplotter GPS (course over ground).

  1. From the wind gauge, select Menu > Compass Gauge > Heading Source.
  2. Select GPS Hdg. or Magnetic.
    NOTE: When moving at low speeds or when stationary, the magnetic compass source is more accurate than the GPS source.
