cindysea,

Contrary to your belief, the reported issue is not indicative of an incorrect setting. As indicated within the referenced FAQ, the reported symptom would be indicative of a problem with the device which is providing heading to the system. Please click here to view a FAQ addressing this subject. As suggested therein, the area where the heading sensor is located should be inspected to ensure that objects capable of producing a magnetic field have not been placed/installed near the system's heading sensor. In the case of Raymarine heading sources featuring a fluxgate compass, it is recommended that the fluxgate compass be tested, and if no fault is found with the compass, that the heading source be recalibrated for deviation (the maximum detected value should ideally be less than 10 degrees) and re-aligned. In the case of Evolution autopilot's, it is recommended that the autopilot's EV-1/2 CCU, ACU, and autopilot control head all be checked to ensure that they have the latest software and if not, that the software within these components be updated according. Next, the actions specified within the FAQ found here should be followed. Should the system's heading source be a third party device, then it would be recommended that the manufacturer of that device be contacted information concerning how to correct the heading problem.
