Question posted by bceonl on June 13th, 2011
Deviation From Programmed Course
When I first recieved my 396 it was set up so that if I went off course it would tell me so many degrees right or left to get back on course.
I did something and got away from that and have been trying ever since to get back to that format.
I have tried Bearing, Course, Course to Steer and Cross Track and can't seem to find the right one. What am I missing?
I have called you twice and haven't gotten a satisfactory answer that worked.
