    AS GPS HS will this puck keep the world from spinning?

    I have a helix 10 gen3 at bow using old antenna puck. If I'm sitting still the map rotates using eads up. I don't like the north up setting. Will the AS GPS HS keep the map from rotating?

    Yes. If installed correctly.

    When installed properly, the Heading Sensor (compass) in the AS GPS HS does three things:
    1. It keeps the position icon from changing to a O when at less than .6 mph. GPS cannot calculate direction (Course) when that slow=that is when the green Course line turns off.
    2. It will indicate the direction the bow is pointed.
    3. It will stabilize the Chart and will orient the Chart in the direction the bow is pointed using the Head-up orientation.

    The Heading Sensor controls the position icon so the boat symbol will do the direction pointing. You can also add a Heading Line to the position icon.
