Compass Page

During active navigation, the Compass Page guides you to your

destination with a graphic compass and a bearing pointer. When

the pointer is pointing straight up, you are heading directly to your

destination.

The middle of the page features a rotating compass ring that shows

your course over ground (track) while you are moving. Your present

course over ground is indicated at the top of the compass ring. The

direction of the destination (bearing) relative to the course over

ground is indicated by an arrow in the middle of the compass ring,

and a course to steer indicator on the outside of the compass ring.

The course to steer represents the direction to steer to get back to the

course line.

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 until

it points up, and then continue in that direction.

NOTE: You must be moving for the compass to accurately

update and show your heading.
