6. COMPASS MODE
The Compass mode aids the GPS functions and offers you navigational support
even when the GPS is off. The 3-axis compass sensor allows tilting up to 30
degrees while still displaying the correct bearing. In the Compass menu you can
set the declination and calibrate the compass to ensure accurate readings in any
location.
Before starting the hike
• Calibrate the compass (

• Set the compass declination (

During hiking
• Use the compass to guide you in unfamiliar terrain
• Obtain directions when the GPS is off, or you are moving at such slow speed
that the GPS is not able to measure your direction.
