some seconds the text [DMG] (Distance Made Good) is displayed.

then a symbolic ”boat” is displayed on one side of the ”road” which
is displayed as three vertical lines.
Your ”boat” will be displayed on the right or left side of the symbol.
The distance is also displayed and can be in either Nautical mile,
Km or Miles.
4.5.14 In a small NEXUS network
The Compass Data instrument can be used in a small Network
together with the Speed log, Multi Repeater or analogue
instruments, without a Server.
When both the log and Compass transducers are installed at the
Compass Data instrument, we recommend you to install by use of
the connection kit art.no. 21453. Only one cable will then carry all
the signals between the instrument and the connection box.
Additional NX2 instruments may be connected direct at the
Compass Data instrument. One NEXUS Network power/data cable
will then go to the additional Multi or Log instruments. (See 2.1.3).
