What is really needed is a separate fluxgate compass heading sensor so that the chartplotter/radar does not depend on the GPS for directional information (Course Over Ground/COG). COG can introduce heading error even when the boat is moving if you are in a cross current or making significant leeway. http://www.jmsonline.net/RAYMARINE-S...DER-E12102.htm or something similar. |
