Many Thanks

Caused by sea currents... helmsman compensating for boats drift... :smug:

It's off by one degree. Has been since the mod was first created for SH3. The error might be annoying but I don't think a "fix" has ever been found. It actually makes little difference when plotting a target bearing.

I've never notice that, but if it's 1 degree to the right, just subtract 1 when you're doing your calculations.
