Note
To exit the calibration at any time, press ESC.
If the boat is not turned as prompted or the compass is not working then calibration can not be completed,
the G-PILOT displays CALB FAIL. Press ESC, x the problem and repeat the calibration.
Local disturbances in magnetic eld may affect the compass. Calibration must be preformed away
from large metal structures such as marinas, large ships etc.; this is the responsibility of the user.
Ensure that both sources are referencing the same north (true or magnetic). If your magnetic
compass has not been calibrated then you can use another source for heading. If using vessel’s
compass then ensure that the deviation tables are applied to check the autopilot’s compass.
