2.3 Functionality

For full functionality of the displays the following position and heading data is 
required:

• Orientation - requires heading data derived from a suitable compass, for the 

radar to operate in North Up or Course Up mode and the chart to operate in Course 
Up and Head Up modes.

• Man Overboard (MOB) - requires heading and speed data. Alternatively, use 

speed over ground (SOG) and course over ground (COG) derived from the same 
source as position data (GPS).

• Mini Automatic Radar Plotting Aid (MARPA) and radar/chart over-

lay functions - requires accurate heading data. MARPA functionality is provided 
if SOG and COG are also available. Increased accuracy will be obtained by using 
fast heading data from a suitable compass, Smart heading sensor or compatible 
Raymarine autopilot.

• Chart display - requires position data (GPS).
