corrected for compass error.

the surface of the earth. Normally this point will be identified by
Lat/Lon coordinates although in some systems it may be shown
by T.D.'s.
XTE - Cross Track Error - Used to identify a vessels position
relative to a straight line drawn between two waypoints. The
amount the vessel is off to the left or to the right of this line is
known as the track. It is normally displayed in thousands of a
nautical mile, equal to 6 ft or 1.85 m.
