Fuel

Litres, USGal (US gallons) or ImpGal (Imperial

Gallons)

Compass

°T (True north) or °M (Magnetic north)

The default units are shown above.

Distance

nm (nautical miles), mi (miles) or km (kilometres)

Temperature

°F (Fahrenheit) or °C (Celsius)

Wind (optional)

Requires a wind instrument: True or App (Apparent)

Note: that the units for wind speed are the speed units.


	Speed			Pressure
				Requires SmartCraft™: kPa or psi
	kn (knots), mph (miles per hour) or kph
				Baro (Barometric pressure)
	(kilometres per hour)
	Depth			Requires a Northstar VHF receiver with barometer
				connected by NavBus: InHg or mB.
	ft (feet), m (metres) or fa (fathoms)

				sentences.

NMEA out

NMEA is generally used with third party instruments (see section 18-10). Select this to transmit NMEA sentences, for example to an autopilot.

NMEA data

Use this to specify which NMEA sentences will be transmitted (see section 18-10 and Appendix A).

NavBus

NavBus is the preferred method for connecting the 657 to other Northstar instruments. Select this if the instruments are connected using NavBus.

NavBus Group

Use this when a group of Northstar instruments are connected together using NavBus, to specify a group of instruments for backlighting, if required. Then, if the backlight setting on one instrument in the group is adjusted, the other instruments change automatically. Otherwise, select 0. See section 18-9.
