Compass
The Compass displays the true wind direction, the apparent wind direction, and
the heading (see Figure 26).
• Apparent wind direction is indicated by a black needle and a black digital
readout on the left of the gauge.
• True wind direction is indicated by a red needle and a red digital readout on
the right of the gauge.
• Heading is displayed as a blue arrow in the center of the gauge and indicates
the direction that the vehicle/vessel is moving. The heading is also digitally
displayed in the lower center in blue.
• Port and starboard Indicators appear when the Compass is orientated in the
Front/Bow Up mode. A letter “P” representing Port or an “S” representing
Starboard will be displayed to the right of both the true wind direction and the
apparent wind direction digits. The letters reference where the wind is coming
from relative to the front of the vehicle/bow of the vessel.
