Compass Screen

Compass Screen

The two data fields on top are customizable. The lower por-
tion of the Compass screen not only displays your heading in
a graphical manner, but also displays the relationship of the
sun, moon and your destination (if navigating on a route) to
your heading.
The Compass screen contains the following information,
from top to bottom:
- In the title bar: destination name if you are using the

Goto function

- Data Fields: customizable data fields (see

Customize

option below). Some of the data displayed requires you
to be moving to be computed. Invalid data is indicated by
dashes.

- Icon representing destination: Displayed outside the

compass when you are using the Goto function. This pro-
vides you with the direction you need to head to arrive at
the destination. When you are on course and heading
straight for the destination, the destination icon will be
lined up with the heading marker

- Compass/Heading marker: Using the compass and the

heading marker, you can view your heading information
in a familiar manner. Note that you need to be moving
for this data to be valid.

To customize the Compass screen, use the function de-
scribed below. This context-sensitive function is prompted
when you press the MENU button while the Compass screen
is displayed.
