6.4 Compass Page
Whenever a destination waypoint has been select-
ed, the NavTalk’s Compass Page will guide you to your
destination using a graphic compass display and digital
readouts.
Use the Compass Page instead of the Highway Page
when travelling at slower speeds, when making frequent
directional changes, or where straight line navigation is
not possible due to obstructions or terrain.
The rotating ‘compass ring’ shows the direction of
your movement and the pointer arrow shows the direc-
tion to your destination (track and bearing, respectively).
In actual use, when the arrow points up, you are
heading directly to the waypoint. When the arrow
points in any other direction, turn toward the arrow
until it points up, then continue moving in that direction.
You must be moving for the arrow to point in the correct
direction.
At the top of page are four user-selectable data
fields that display current speed, distance and time to
next waypoint, and current time (defaults). Each data
field may be configured to display any one of twenty-
five data options.
The following options are available:
Big Numbers - allows you to display a smaller
compass and two user-selectable, large-character data
fields. If ‘Big Numbers’ is selected, ‘Big Compass’ will
appear as an option instead.
Change Fields - allows you to choose from 29
types of data you want displayed in the four user-selec-
table data fields. See page 112 for descriptions of navi-
gation terms.
Restore Defaults - resets all data field headings to
their factory default settings.
