V104s Alignment
The top of the V104s enclosure incorporates sight design features to help
you align the enclosure with respect to an important feature on your vessel.
To use the sights, center the small post on the opposite side of the enclosure
from you, within the channel made in the medallion located in the center of
the enclosure top as shown in Figure 2-4 and Figure 2-5. Alignment accuracy
when looking through the site (Figure 2-4)and (Figure 2-5) is approximately
+/- 1°.

If you have another accurate source of heading data on your vessel, such as
a gyrocompass, you may use its data to correct for a bias in V104s alignment
within the V104s software configuration (PocketMax or VectorPC).
Alternatively, you can physically adjust the heading of the V104s so that it
renders the correct heading measurement; however, adding a software
offset is an easier process.
