If the NSR Marine NGC-3000 displays "loss of heading," it indicates that the device has not fixed the heading. The system typically takes about 30 seconds to determine heading at cold start. To correct this issue, ensure the device has sufficient time to acquire heading data. If the problem persists, check the GNSS signal reception and ensure the device is properly installed and functioning.
