you are heading. The bearing and course pointers

to your destination, relative to your current heading
direction. Choose a bearing pointer or course pointer

Using the Electronic Compass
When you press and hold
PAGE on these units, the
electronic compass turns off and stays off until you
press and hold
PAGE again.
The electronic compass functions like a magnetic
compass when you are stationary. When you are
moving and reach a pre-set speed, it uses data from
the GPS receiver to maintain your heading. When
you stop (after a pre-set time), it again operates like a
magnetic compass.
To turn the electronic compass on or off:
1. Press and hold the P�GE key to turn the
electronic compass on or off. The Compass
icon appears in the status bar when the
electronic compass is on. When you are not
using the electronic compass, turn it off to
conserve batteries. When it is turned off, the
unit uses the GPS receiver for navigation.
2. Hold the GPSMAP 76CSx level to get an
accurate electronic compass reading.
