Setting Name Selectable Options
Compass Variance 123456789101112131415
NOTE:
When the “Compass Variance” feature is selected, it allows the compass variance to be set to any number from 1 to 15
per the compass variance zone map figure.
Compass Variance is the difference between Magnetic North and Geographic North. To compensate for the differ-
ences the variance should be set for the zone where the vehicle is being driven, illustrated in the zone map. Once
properly set, the compass will automatically compensate for the differences when calibrated, and provide the most
accurate compass headings.
