Data Description
Bearing This is the direction to your destination from your present position, in
degrees, from North.
Distance This is distance (measured in the Nav Units selected in Setup) to your
destination.
Speed This is the rate that you are travelling. The unit of measure is selected in
Setup - Nav Units.
Heading This is the direction you are moving (in degrees). When the heading and
bearing are the same, you are travelling on a direct line to your destination.
VMG VMG (Velocity Made Good). This is the speed that you are getting closer to
your destination. If the heading and bearing are the same, then VMG will be
the same as Speed since all of the speed that you are travelling is being
applied to arriving to your destination. However, if you are off course, your
VMG will be less than the speed that you are travelling.
CTS CTS (Course To Steer). This is the angle that you need to turn to put you
back on course.
ETA ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival). This is the local time that you will arrive at
your destination based on the rate of speed that you are moving to your
destination. (See VMG.)
ETE ETE (Estimated Time Enroute). This is how long, in time, that it will take
you to arrive at your destination based upon your speed to the destination.
XTE XTE (Cross Track Error). XTE is the perpendicular distance from your
present position to the course line you should be on to go to your
destination.
Turn This is the direction you need to turn to put you on the shortest distance to
your destination from your present position.
