Mag. Variation:

The location of the magnetic north pole is different from the geographical north

pole. This causes a difference between the true and magnetic north direction. This difference is

called magnetic variation, and varies with respect to the observation point on earth. Your unit is

preprogrammed with all the earth's magnetic variations. However, you may wish to enter

variation manually to refine accuracy. Consult a nautical chart for magnetic variation.

Scale:

Two sets of chart scales are available: step-scale and user-defined. The 10 default chart

scales are as below. The chart scale range is 1000 to 9500000.

Pos. Disp. Meth:

Position may be displayed in latitude and longitude, Loran A LOPs, Loran C

LOPs or Decca LOPs.
