Selecting the Preferred Heading Source

If you have more than one heading source on the network, you

can select a your preferred source. The source could be a

compatible GPS compass or a magnetic heading sensor.

NOTICE

For best results, use a Garmin sensor for the heading source.

Using a third-party GPS compass can cause the data to be

delivered erratically and may result in excessive delays. The

autopilot needs timely information, and therefore cannot often

use third-party GPS compass data for GPS location or speed. If

a third-party GPS compass is used, the autopilot will likely report

loss of navigation data and speed source periodically.
