RNG & BRG MODE
The GPS receiver calculates the range,
bearing, cross track error (XTE) and ETA to
TO waypoint when you set a destination.
The range and bearing can be calculated by
GREAT CIRCLE (straight line between two
points) or RHUMB LINE (straight line
between two points on nautical chart)
method.
RANGE/SPEED UNIT
Selects the unit for range and speed; nm/kt,
km/ km/h, sm/ sm/h.

COURSE VECTOR
You may extend a line from the own ship
position to show ship's course. The line can
be a vector (the length depends on the ship's
speed) or course bar (course bar).
BEARING
A navigation device outputs both true and
magnetic bearings. A magnetic bearing is
true bearing plus (or minus) earth's magnetic
deviation. Thus the equation for finding
magnetic bearing is;
true bearing x (magnetic variation)° =
±
magnetic bearing
You can display your ship's course and
bearing to waypoint in true or magnetic
bearing.
