From a chart view, select

If necessary, select
Source and select an option:
• To automatically use the source available, select
Auto
.
• To use the GPS antenna heading for COG, select
GPS
Heading (COG)
.
• To use data from a connected heading sensor, select
Heading
.
• To use data from both a connected heading sensor and
the GPS antenna, select
COG and Heading
.
This displays both the heading line and the COG line on
the chart.

Select Display and select an option:
• Select
Distance > Distance
and enter the length of the line shown on the chart.
• Select Time> Time
,nd enter the time used to calculate
the distance your boat will travel in the specified time at
your present speed
What does a heading line do for me?
