"R" (relative) follows the EBL indication if the bearing is relative to the heading of your
ship. "T" (true) follows the EBL indication if the bearing is in reference to the north. You
can select relative or true in the head up and true view modes. The bearing indication
is true in all other modes. True bearing requires a heading sensor.
