SETTING THE DESIRED HEADING

Bring the Vessel to the desired heading, and press STEER to log that heading. The
display changes as shown on Figure 5. The logged heading is the heading shown
when the STEER button is FIRST pressed.
The dead-ahead symbol indicates that the vessel's heading is within the error setting.
The size of the error setting can be changed only in Engineering (page 6).
