Bearing mode
The mode (MAGnetic or TRUE) of all the bearing and heading data displayed. This is indicated by M or T in the BRG or COG field of the Chart status bar.
Key beep
This setting controls audible feedback resulting from operation of the keys.
Note: Alarms remain active.
Units
You can set the units for distance, speed and depth . The units you set will be used to display all data. However, the distance units do not affect the chart scale, which is always in nautical miles.
Variation
The variation value is the difference between True and Magnetic direction data for heading or bearing values. The Magnetic value is derived from True by applying the user selected value of variation.
The variation is varied in 1° steps to 30° East or West. Press trackpad right to move the value eastward, or left to move it westward. The selected value is retained when the unit is switched off. The Default value is zero.
Date format
Set your preferred date format (DD/MM/YY or MM/DD/YY). The selected setting is retained when the unit switched off. The Default is DD/MM/YY.
