offset). Once you computed the error, you can turn the fix correction On or Off.
Correction Offset
Manual correction of fix position.

Course Vector
The Course Vector is a graphical indication of the direction in which the Vessel is heading. The Course
Vector origin is the vessel’s position so the time line movement is synchronized with the vessels Icon.
Course Vector course is given by the value of COG (Course Over Ground) and its length is propor-
tional to the SOG (Speed Over Ground). This option disables (Off) or sets time as : 2, 10, 30 min, 1, 2
hours, Infinite. The default setting is Infinite.
