The compass displays heading information directly from the fluxgate compass or, if the unit is used as a repeater, via the SeaTalk bus using data taken from another compass instrument or autopilot. The compass can also be used as a steering indicator to maintain a given course. Any helmsmans error, to port or starboard, is indicated by a bargraph at the bottom of the display. This mode is known as "Lock" mode.
