Quick Start
As you begin walking, the Pointer will turn and point at your destination. As soon as you
are able, turn toward the Pointer until it is aligned with the vertical line in the Compass Ring.
Continue walking, as you approach your HOME waypoint, make a few turns to see how the
Pointer reacts. When you near your destination a message will be displayed alerting you that
you have arrived.
Congratulations, you should have enough basic knowledge of your GPS 72 to begin navi-
gating on your own. Be safe, remember that while the GPS is very reliable you should always
have a backup means of navigation. DESTINATION
START
When you are able to turn toward the destination, follow
the Pointer until it points toward the top of the display and
aligns with the line in the Compass Ring. When the Pointer
and Line are aligned, your Track and Bearing will be equal
and you will be headed toward your destination. When you
are near your destination, a message ‘Arriving at Destina-
tion’ will be displayed.
