Bearing

Bearing is the direction to a destination waypoint measured

 

in degrees from North (i.e. 321°, where 000° is North, 090°

 

East, 180° is South, 270° is West).

 

 

CMG/SMG

Course Made Good/Speed Made Good:

 

 

 

Course Made Good is the angle between th e starting point

 

on a route and the current position of the boat. The goal is to

 

have CMG and Track equal to the same n

umber. See the

 

Course Ma de Goo d illustration. Speed

Made Good is the

 

distance from the starting waypoint on the r oute divided by

 

the time elapsed since starting navigation on the route.

TRK/CMG

Track/Course Made Good:

 

 

 

 

The Track i s

the planned line of t ravel between two

 

waypoints and represents the most effic ient path between

 

the tw o points b ecause

it is a straight lin e. The TRK is

 

measured in degrees.
