This function requires log transducer, Nexus or NMEA compass
transducer , Nexus GPS or NMEA navigator.
When selected the function displays (CTS) and the analogue steer
pilot instrument displays the difference between the compass
heading and the bearing to waypoint (CTS) including set and drift.
The function can only be displayed if the connected navigator is
navigating towards a waypoint.
Since the displayed value it is controlled by the navigator, the
value can not be altered.
The function is compensated for set and drift, by using the
parameters compass heading, boat speed through the water,
course and speed over ground (COG/SOG) and bearing to
waypoint (BTW).

This function requires the Nexus or NMEA wind transducer.
The function is semi automatic, i.e. when activated, present wind
angle is copied to memory. You can also change the value

The function displays the deviation from a set wind angle value
and can be used as a ”close hauled” tack indicator, or show an
enlarged ”picture” of the running angle.
Select sub-function (Pilot), press KEY.
The text (OFF) or the last selected steer reference function
flashes.
To select steer reference (AWA), press UP.
To store the function, press KEY. WIND is shown on the display.
The sub-function (STR) automatically displays the stored (AWA)
value.
The text (AWA) and (STR) is alternating.
