18.5 Source of Navigation Data
The figure below shows how various sources of navigation data are chosen. "SOG,
COG" is speed over the ground and course over the ground, respectively. "SPD" is
speed through the water. “Drift” is the difference between speed through the water and
speed over ground.
Heading used by the system is shown at the top-right position on the chart display. In
the example shown below, heading is received from a gyrocompass and it is shown
without additional text, meaning the value is referenced to true North. Additional gyro-
related text that may appear is "(GYRO-A)" if the value is referenced to magnetic
North.
SOG/COG used by the system is shown at the top-right position on the chart display.
In the example below, COG and SOG are from chosen position sensors and this is
indicated with the text "GPS*" or "LOG*" (* is the number of sensors).
