[DG] [DG11] NMEA 0183 to ST2000 Queston

[Louise - Raymarine - Moderator]

Dear Nssailor,

Are there other NMEA0183 sentences on the data network with bearing to waypoint?

My suggestion is to turn off local magnetic variation the pilot. Currently the correction is only cancelling out he magnetic variation difference. The pilot is seeing the magnetic variation to waypoint, this is available in BWR and BWC. Both NMEA0183 sentences offer magnetic and true bearing to waypoint data, I am unsure if the pilot prioritises any of these sentneces, I would need to investigate further.

We can be sure that with a -17 degree magnetic variation applied to the pilot and it is displaying 0' when the bearing is 17' magnetic on the plotter, you are just negating a bearing with the magnetic variation already applied.

Many Thanks
Louise
