The unit should have a readout for a data point called CMG or "Course Made
Good" which means, what direction are you really travelling? When this
matches the bearing to your waypoint, you are heading directly towards it
regardless of current or leeway.

Thanks.


A book that I have found very helpful & interesting is "User's Guide To
GPS"
by Bonnie Dahl. Excellent info on how the system works overall and what
specific units will do as a navigating tool.


I'll check it out.
