Note ! 1. APB sentence may read in true or magnetic bearing wp-wp
and bearing pos-wp. These fields are sent as magnetic bearings
from IS15. .
2. IS15. Magnetic variation from the HDG sentence is only used
to calculate true heading from the data in the same Hdg
sentence, and is not read in to the system.
