Instruments
Instruments display the boat’s data in real time, received from the GPS and the navigation instruments. This chapter explains how to build the instrument bar and place instruments on the chart, then presents each of the 19 instruments. Three pages cover the richest ones in detail: Course tracking, the instruments that tell you which sail to carry, and the barometer with its ten-day barograph.
