BEARING: You may display bearing relative to true North (true bearing) or relative to magnetic North (magnetic bearing).

MAG CALIB: The location of the magnetic pole is different from the geographical North pole. This causes a difference between the true and magnetic North direction. The difference is called mag- netic variation, and varies by the observation point on the earth. This unit is programmed with the earth’s magnetic variations. How- ever, you may wish to further refine variation for a particular area. If you enter compensation manually, be sure to change it when magnetic variation changes.

EVENT METHOD: Select mark to enter by the [EVENT MOB] key; mark or event mark.

POSITION: Select position display method; latitude and longi- tude or Loran LOPs.

DISP: If "POSITION" is selected to LOP, enter Loran or Decca chain here.
