What is an N2KAnalyzer "boat file"?
N2KAnalyzer allows you to save information about a particular network for a given boat or vessel into what is called a "boat file". You can read the boat file back into N2KAnalyzer at a later time or you can even send the boat file to Maretron's... Read More

What is true wind?
True wind is what the wind is truly doing and it can be computed from the measured apparent wind by subtracting the vessels speed. For example, if the vessel was moving at exactly 5 knots and the wind was blowing in the exact opposite direction at 5 ... Read More

Why is the WSO100 wind direction incorrectly displayed on my display?
The WSO100 will not show the correct wind direction if it hasn't been aligned with the boat. You align the WSO100 in one of two ways:align the post (there are three posts attaching the top of the WSO100 to the base) closest to the humidity senso... Read More
Why does the heading coming from the SSC200 appear to be in error?
The SSC200 measures the Earth's magnetic field and before it will provide an accurate heading, it must understand how the Earth's magnetic field is affected (or deviates from normal) due to the ferrous metals found on the vessel. Fortunatel... Read More
