Units
This sets the units for distance, speed and depth. This setting will be used
to display all data. However, the distance units do not affect the chart
scale, which is always in nautical miles.
Variation
The variation value is the difference between True and Magnetic
direction data for heading or bearing values. The Magnetic value is
derived from True by applying the user selected value of variation.
The variation is set in 1
°
steps to 30
°
East or West. Press trackpad right to
move the value eastward, or left to move it westward. The selected value
is retained when the unit is switched off. The Default value is zero.
