what, if you understand what i want why bother with the didactisism? it
makes you sound fixated and unflexable.
thanks to Bill for getting what i am looking for....ie, which direction is
my boat pointing so i can align my radar image with my chart so the
returns will be properly overlayed with the chart image? Once i am moving
the gps is quite capable of providing that same alignment.
Thanks anyways.

If I could pick a little nit he You can't have a heading while you

standing still as heading is (the angle of) the direction of your travel.

The word you wanted to use is probably "bearing" or perhaps "azimuth".
