What do you use on your chart plotter......True or Mag for course bearings?

I think it depends on whether it is visable from the helm.
If the helm is using the boats compass (and not the GPS) to steer the boats direction then it's best to alter it to mag (and ignore the deviation)
My GPS is at the helm and I use it as 'the bats compass' and ignore the traditional one fitted. In this instance it's best to have it set to true.

Magnetic minus 5 degrees
Chartplotter is right by the steering compass and causes some deviation.
