Abstract
A system is provided for determining an angular offset for a device attached to a watercraft. The system comprises an electronic device including a camera, one or more processors, and a memory including computer program code. The computer program code is configured to, when executed, cause the one or more processors to determine, based on an image via the camera, a first direction associated with the watercraft. The image includes at least a portion of the watercraft and at least a portion of the device mounted to the watercraft. The computer program code is also configured to, when executed, determine, based on the image via the camera, a second direction associated with the device, determine an angular offset between the first direction and the second direction, and store an indication of the angular offset in the memory for use with one or more functions associated with the device.
