CommercialHeading input requirements for radar overlay and ARPA
Question
Do I need to install a flux gate compass for my radar/chart overlay and ARPA to work?
Solution
Yes. A stabilized heading input is required for both of these features to work.
Radar overlay will work with either an NMEA or Furuno AD10 heading input. NMEA sentences that will work are HDG, HDM, HDT.
ARPA (if installed) requires the Furuno AD10 heading input at 25 milliseconds. You can use any of Furuno's current flux gate compasses, an AD100 Gyro Converter, or any autopilot or flux gate compass capable of supplying this data format.
