Supported datagram formats for heading and gyro
information

The heading sensor provides the EK80 with the vessel’s current heading. When enabled,
the vessel's current heading is shown on the top bar.

The EK80 supports the following datagram formats for vessel heading
and/or gyro information.

•

NMEA HDT

The NMEA HDT datagram provides the true vessel heading. The information is
normally provided by a course gyro.

•

NMEA HDM

The NMEA HDM datagram provides vessel heading in degrees magnetic. The
datagram is no longer recommended for use in new designs. It is often replaced
by the NMEA HDG telegram.

•

NMEA HDG

The NMEA HDG datagram provides heading from a magnetic sensor. If this reading
is corrected for deviation, it produces the magnetic heading. If it is offset by variation,
it provides the true heading.

•

NMEA THS

The NMEA THS datagram provides the true vessel heading. The datagram includes a
mode indicator field providing critical safety-related information about the heading
data. The THS datagram replaces the deprecated HDT.
