Chapter 2: System Integration
In particular, position, heading and speed data are required for the following functions:
• Orientation - requires heading data derived from a suitable compass, for the
radar to operate in North Up or Course Up mode and the chart to operate in Course
Up and Head Up modes.
• Man Overboard (MOB) - requires heading and speed data. Alternatively, use
speed over ground (SOG) and course over ground (COG) derived from the same
source as position data (GPS).
• Mini Automatic Radar Plotting Aid (MARPA) and radar/chart over-
lay functions - requires accurate heading data. MARPA functionality is provided
if SOG and COG are also available. Increased accuracy will be obtained by using
fast heading data from a suitable compass, Smart heading sensor or compatible
Raymarine autopilot.
Engine output from a compatible engine manufacturer is also required. See

Raymarine.com for latest compatibility information.
(3) Whilst an AIS receiver is not required for the radar and chart applications to
function, this receiver is necessary if AIS functionality is required within radar and
chart.
