For some reason I had it set to 8000000. I have a small test network at home with a B&G Triton2 display where i can now see a compass heading.
And as you say, it's good value. I bought a PiCAN-M HATat around 100 Euros but it doesn't play well with my PiJuice HAT in some respects, so I believe I will stick to this solution and maybe sell the PiCAN-M.
Great News - Glad it helped you!
after my experience, I did go ahead and write the manual page for it:

Could you check through this page and any additions you think are necessary could be added (either you add or let me know and I can add)
A section on the PiCAN-M HAT would be good if you could write one?

Not familiar with the Waveshare RS485-CAN-HAT. I run the Rusoku TouCAN Marine USB adapter, which I thought was a good deal at $70 US. Got it to use the TouCAN plugin in OpenCPN, but have grown up to a full-blown SignalK setup since then, so I used the TouCAN adapter as the interface. Works fine, but I like the price of the Waveshare and have found their stuff to be quality. I have their USB hat for Pi4 and an RS-485 USB adapter for a solar project I was working on.
Good post! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks Steve!
If you look at the CAN page of the documents - you will see it there is nothing in the CAN_USB section, it would be great if you updated that section with your experience:
