Available Data Options
Bearing This is the direction to your destination from your present position, in
degrees, from North.
Distance This is distance (measured in the Nav Units selected in Setup) to your
destination.
Speed This is the rate that you are travelling. The unit of measure is selected in
Setup - Nav Units.
Heading This is the direction you are moving (measured in degrees). When the
heading and bearing are the same, you are travelling on a direct line to your
destination.
VMG (Velocity Made Good). This is the speed that you are getting closer to your
destination. If the heading and bearing are the same, then VMG will be the same
as Speed since all of the speed that you are travelling is being applied to arriving to
your destination. However, if you are off course, your VMG will be less than the
speed that you are travelling.
CTS (Course To Steer). This is the angle that you need to turn to put you back on
course.
ETA (Estimated Time of Arrival). This the local time that you will arrive at your
destination based on the rate of speed that you are moving to your destination.

arrive at your destination based upon your present speed to the destination.
