The Compass Screen
The Compass screen displays information about your heading (the
direction you are travelling) and bearing (direction to your next waypoint
destination if a route is active) in a familiar graphical format.
Outside the compass are icons indicating the position of the sun and the
moon relative to your position and heading.
Inside the compass there are two arrows that can be displayed. The large
green arrow is your heading and is displayed only while moving. The
smaller, black arrow is the bearing to your next destination waypoint if
you have a route activated. When the two arrows are lined up together,
you are moving directly towards your destination. (Note that the compass
will rotate relative to North.)
The two data fields at the bottom of the display are customized by
following the instructions provided.
