Whenever a Go To, Follow Track (TracBack), or Follow Route has been activated, the GPSMAP 2006/
2010’s Compass Page guides you to your destination with digital readouts and a graphic compass display,
which includes a bearing pointer. Use this 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 left
side of the page features a rotating ‘compass ring’ that shows your course over ground (track) while you’re
moving. Your present course over ground is indicated at the top of the compass ring. A bearing pointer
arrow, in the middle of the compass ring, and a bearing ‘bug’ indicator on the outside of the compass ring,
indicate the direction of the destination (bearing) relative to the course over ground. The compass ring and
pointer arrow work independently to show—at a glance—the direction of your movement and the direc-
tion to your destination. For instance, if the arrow points up, you are going directly to the waypoint. If the
arrow points any direction other than up, turn toward the arrow and bug indicator until it points up, then
continue in that direction.
The bearing pointer, bearing bug, and/or compass ring may point in various directions when
you are stationary or at very low speeds. Once you start moving, the pointer will be correct.
The GPSMAP 2006/2010’s Compass Page features a SOFT KEY option that provides access to layout
and data field options. The data window, located on the right side of the page, provides a user-selectable
layout of various types of useful data. Each data field may be configured to display one of several data
options. The data window layout may also be changed to display more/less number fields and change the
actual size of the numbers displayed.
To change the number fields:
1. Press the ’Change Nmbrs’ SOFT KEY, then highlight the desired field and press ENTER/MARK or choose
from one of the SOFT KEY options. For detailed instructions on changing the data fields and layout of the
Compass Page, see pages 17-19.
