Calibrate Speed

The speed sensor can be calibrated to compensate for inaccuracies. Be- fore you change the setting, first calculate the percentage that the speed is off. You will enter this percentage in a moment.

When you make a run to compare your ground speed to speed sensor speed, perform your test in relatively calm water free of current, if pos- sible. (Unless, of course, you are taking the current speed into consid- eration when making your calculation.) After you have a correction fig- ure, here's how to enter it:
