[CA] [CA11] Course Vector

[Chuck - Raymarine - Moderator]

Welcome to the Raymarine Forum ibehel,

When seeking to view vectors, it is recommended that the Vectors initially be configured to be of INFINITE length. Please note that the COG Vector is and always has been colored green within Raymarine MFDs. COG is generated from GPS data. As such, it will essentially have no meaningful value unless the vessel is underway and making way. The Heading data item and correspondingly the Heading Vector are supported only if the vessel has been interfaced to source of Heading data. The Heading Vector is an always has been colored red within Raymarine MFDs. In most systems supporting heading, the source of such data will be an autopilot or instrument compass. Heading data is not produced by most GPS sensing devices, including the internal GPS sensors within some Raymarine's MFDs and external Raymarine GPS sensors.
