Garmin GPSMAP 196 - Manual (Page 44)

Panel Page
The Panel Page shows GPS-derived data in a graphical format,
similar to an instrument panel. Keep in mind the differences between
this page and your mechanical instruments, as your mechanical
panel instruments use sensors that provide information different
from that derived using GPS. The Panel Page appears only when the
GPSMAP 196 is in Aviation Mode.
The Panel Page shows a graphic Horizontal Situation Indicator
(HSI) surrounded by additional indicators.

HSI showing Course Deviation Indicator (CDI)
CDI Scale
The graphic HSI depicts the course to the destination or the next
waypoint in a route, current ground track, off course error, and a
To/From indication. The rotating compass indicates your current
ground track at the top of the page.
The course pointer and course deviation needle indicate the course
and whether you are on the course. A bug indicator provides
information to guide you back to the course if you stray off course.
If you move off course, the Course Deviation Indicator, or needle,
indicates how far off course you are, left or right, based on its
placement along the course deviation scale. To get back on course
and center the needle, steer toward the needle.
The course deviation scale setting is adjustable for ±0.25, 1.25 or 5.0
(nautical mile, statute mile, or kilometer) full-scale deflection. The
course deviation scale appears on the lower right corner of the HSI.
