Regatta Tactic Compass
The true wind direction is inserted by the
"wind dir." option of context menu.
The wind direction can be inserted in two
distinct ways.
The first one consists in using magnetic
compass, setting the lubber line (red arrow)
in the direction
from which wind originates.
The second way consists in setting wind
direction as related to route direction.
The second way is the preferred one when
wind instrument reading is available.
Wind direction related to route direction
can be inserted manually by setting the
angle value in degrees or graphically by
setting the read arrow in the direction from
which wind originates.
In the last case the red arrow should be
oriented by a touch on the display.
Note that the read arrows are always
oriented in the direction from which wind originates whereas the blue arrow
in the navigation display represents the true wind direction.
The first way is always available whereas the second one is available only if the GPS is
currently providing the route bearing.
If the GPS route is available it is possible to select the insert mode as you can see in the
figure.
If the GPS route is not available the magnetic compass mode is selected.
