    Heading Line Feature

    I watched a video with Brian Thrift showing how to line up your boat with a way point. He had a feature on his Helix heading line that I have never seen before, but would like to have it. It showed distance markings on his heading line. I will link a screenshot of it. Has anyone seen this, and how is that turned on? I am pretty good with the Helix menus, but I couldn't figure out how to get the distance markings like his. (if this link doesn't work, I will edit post until I get it across)

    Looks like a GoTo function done with GPS.
    He has the Chart Orientation set to COG (GPS based).
    Heading is compass based (heading sensor) and just does direction.

    Thanks Wayne. I'll look into that. (I added a better screenshot for more clarity to my post.)

    I found the answer to my question under the Course Projection Line menu. One of the several options provides a tic mark function as it displays the course line. Now I wonder if I have the same function on my Solix?
