OFFSET SETTING 2.1.1 Principle After the installation, it is necessary to adjust the OFFSET of the Regatta Compass so that the magnetic heading displayed is identical to the true magnetic heading. In order to do that, you must carry out an actual test at sea with your boat. Take the GPS unit of your boat as reference, and make sure there is no current and the sea is calm in the area chosen for this test. - Page 7 Please refer to the user guide of your display to perform the setting. 46_Regatta_Compass_Interface_um_EN_14...
