Why does the vessels heading match Course over Ground, not readings from the heading sensor?

This is an indication that there is no data feed coming from the heading sensor. (In the absence of heading information, ICAN software points the vessel in the direction of the Course over Ground). Check the connection between the heading sensor and the system as described on Installation Card or in Chapter 8 – Configuration and Defaults – NMEA Devices.
