Notes on the heading source selection:
Gyro/GPS
If only one Gyro Compass is connected, this compass acts as the active
heading source.
If several Gyro Compasses are connected within a navigation system, the compass
with the better performance or with an ascertained sequence is selected for the
task.
The performance or sequence is ascertained via an external system for navigation
data evaluation and distribution.
GPS Compasses are handled like Gyro
Compasses. The selected GPS Compass is
displayed:
Gyro: GPS 2
(if there are more than one GPS Compass)
Magnet
If only one magnetic compass is connected, this compass acts as the active

If several magnetic compasses are connected within a navigation system, the
compass with the better performance or with an ascertained sequence is selected
for the task.
The performance or sequence is ascertained via an external system for navigation
data evaluation and distribution.
