I navigate using true heading and not magnetic heading; how do I use the SSC200 compass and N2KView software to view my heading in true?

Jun 17, 2008 0 0 8998 0/5 (0 Vote)

The SSC200 compass outputs heading information in magnetic form and before N2KView can display true heading, the variation must be known. One source of variation is the Maretron GPS antenna/receiver (GPS200). If an SSC200 and GPS200 are connected... Read More

Unknown 0 0 5251 0/5 (0 Vote)

The SSC200 is a magnetic compass, which means that it measures the direction of Earth's magnetic field relative to the magnetic poles (magnetic heading). This is different than a gyrocompass, which measures heading relative to the Earth's rotational... Read More
