    Tracking or Heading?

    Can someone help? My graph used to work fine now my track comes out the side of the boat icon or from a diagonal. I have a steady cast with it.

    Have you confirmed your SteadyCast is still being recognized by the unit via the NMEA2000 network? Home, Settings, Communications, NMEA2000

    Under Communications, NEMA 2000 Setup, Device List, It shows a steadycast under the device list. Do you have any other ideas Todd? TIA!

    My GPSMAP did this today after an ActiveCaptain map update. Chart Heading was changed from Heading up to North Up. I changed it back and everything was find. Might not be your situation but thought I'd mention it.

    What Leonard asked was going to be my next follow up question. Make sure Heading Up is selected.

    Are you referring to map orientation? That says "head up" and vessel orientation is auto.

    I would go through the two-step SteadyCast calibration process again to see if this corrects the issue. After you calibrate the compass, make sure you also run through the Auto Heading Alignment part of the calibration.
