IMPORTANT NOTE: When changing the reference from true to magnetic north or magnetic to true north, all stored headings
in Trail Blazing, Multi-Leg, and Bearing are automatically converted to whichever north the Outback is currently referenced to,
regardless of which north the headings were stored in. (Example: The Outback is referenced to true north while Multi-Leg
headings are stored. The OutbackÕs reference is now changed to magnetic north. The Multi-Leg stored headings are automati-
cally converted to magnetic north. The Outback is now changed back to true north, all the stored headings are automatically
converted back to true north)
