Notes
The value in field 2 provides ship heading relative to magnetic north. This value includes corrections for deviation and attitude offsets. Use PGN 126720-33 to calibrate the
compass (produce a deviation table). Use PGN 126720-32 to establish sensor attitude offsets.
To obtain ship heading relative to true north, add the variation value in field 4 to the heading sensor reading in field 2.
