Switching chart vectors ON/OFF within a MFD running LightHouse 3

Switching chart vectors ON/OFF within a MFD running LightHouse 3 (ex. Axiom, Axiom Pro)

Within MFDs running LightHouse 3 software, the menu options for switching chart COG, heading, wind, and current vectors ON/OFF may be accessed by holding your finger pressed to the vessel position icon when a Chart page/pane is active. The system data requirements for properly displaying these vectors follows:
- COG - GPS sensor input to the system
- Heading - sensor input from one of the following:
----- Autopilot equipped with magnetic north seeking compass
----- Magnetic north seeking instrument compass
----- Satellite compass or sensor input to the system
- Wind Arrow (True Wind) - all of the following required:
----- Apparent wind angle,
----- Apparent wind speed,
----- Speed (through water),
------Heading data (see above)
- Tide Arrow (drift vector) - all of the following required:
----- GPS COG
----- GPS SOG
----- Heading data (see above)
----- Speed (through water),

Should there be any doubt regarding whether one's system include one or more of the required sensor inputs, then verification may be performed by customizing the data cells within a Data application panel or Databox to report the specified data items. Should the data item be reported as dashes ("-.-" or "---") then, no source of the corresponding data has been interfaced to the system.
