The windangle reference [AWA] is also sent out to all FI-30 instruments and the
STEER Pilot will also show you the deviation from your set angle.
The AWA can also be used downwind, as a jibe warning indicator, or to keep the
fastest downwind speed.
When the [AWA] was selected, the text [WA] was flashing with a left or a right pointer.
Use the PLUS and MINUS to change the direction of the WA pointer, then press SET.

This steer function will give course to steer, true or magnetic

must be used together with a GPS or Decca/ Loran C navigator
connected to the NEXUS network (at the Server instrument).

Hints !
Even if your Compass is un-deviated, the CTS function will anyway tell you the
optimum course to sail !
The CTS function gives you the shortest way to sail towards the Waypoint. Tide
must however be taken into consideration, since it will give a time dependant
drift on the boat.
