rudder gain depending on the heading. If you have a GPS connected,
the autopilot will take latitude information from the GPS.
Latitude (LAt)
The RayPilot only displays this screen if you have set AutoAdapt to
1 or 2. Use the ▲ (NAV) and ▼ (LIGHTS) keys or course change
knob to set the value to your boat’s current latitude, to the nearest
degree.
Note: If valid latitude data is available via SeaTalk or NMEA, the
RayPilot will use this data instead of the calibration value.
Magnetic variation (vAr)
If required, set this value to the level of magnetic variation present at
your boat’s current position – indicated as east or west. The autopilot
sends this variation setting to other instruments on the SeaTalk
system, and it can be updated by other SeaTalk instruments.
