[DG] [DG11] NMEA 0183 to ST2000 Queston

[nssailor]

Hi again Louise,

Unfortunately, the situation is as I gave in the example. The tillerpilot displays the expected True bearing on the display. I have attached pictures showing:

1) Chartplotter - display is true north up; waypoint is placed at 1 deg True = 18 deg Mag; at 1.01nm. Chartplotter displays 18 deg M to waypoint;

2) Information is passed to both ST2000+ tillerpilot and TackTick network via the Actisense converter and Raymarine NMEA concentrator.

3) TackTick display shows 17 deg Mag to waypoint (rounding difference of 1 degree) and 1.01nm.

4) Unfortunately tillerpilot shows 0 deg and 1.01nm. In other words tillerpilot is displaying True (and presumably will attempt to steer to 0 deg Mag??) I also show the ST2000 display showing the correct -17 variation is programmed in.

It would appear the ST2000 will not apply the variation to the True bearing to waypoint?

The ST2000 should apply the magnetic variation you have manually input to the bearing to waypoint being displayed on the ST2000. The ST2000 accepts the RMB sentence and will apply the variation.

When putting the pilot into track mode are you seeing the expected true or magnetic value?

You should see the magnetic value on the display.

Many Thanks
Louise
