made in either MAGNETIC or TRUE. Toggle with +/-.

COG vector length

- (default to 6 minutes) - indicates own course

and speed. The length of the COG vector reflects a distance run
during the specified number of minutes at the immediate speed.

Grounding alarm

SOG and a C-MAP C-card inserted in the drawer below the keypad.
When an alarm is activated, an info-window will state the cause of
the alarm. Reset with [CLR].
