Sailingdog, I have the older model of that, but essentially, that is the one, and your point is well made and taken, and is the chief reason that I want this issue corrected. I caught myself a number of times heading off on the wrong course after a tack and had to catch myself. Adding 15-16 degrees everytime I used the
GPS was a nightmare as I am of left brain and can't count to 21 unless I am naked!!!
