There are two heading (HDG1 and HDG2) screens. The HDG1 screen displays the analog com-
pass rose with the digital heading readout in the center, while the HDG2 screen displays the

antenna or an alternative source of heading is available via the N2K network. You can toggle
between the HDG1 and HDG2 screens by pressing the HDG hot key once or twice.
