and heading data.
• Orientation- heading data is required for the radar to operatein North Up
and Head Up mode and the chart to operatein Course Up and Head Up.
• MOB requires heading and speed data. Alternatively, SOG and COG
(derivedfrom the same source as position data) enable the MOB function.
• MARPArequires accurate heading data; full MARPA functionality is pro-
vided if SOG and COG are also available.
• Position data is required for full functionalityof the chartdisplay.
Full details of heading, positionand other data are given in Section 8.8.
Planning the Installation
