and close the menus. Some overlay categories
do not work the same in point-to-point mode, but several data types can
help guide you. One of the easiest to use is the Steering Arrow. The
Steering Arrow shows which way to steer to a destination.
It always points to the destination, regard-
less of the map orientation. The arrow
automatically shows the distance from
your current position to the destination. In
addition to the Steer arrow, the most com-
monly used overlay data for point-to-point
navigation are:
Track:
The direction traveled; shown in de-
grees, true or magnetic format.
Bearing:
The direction to a destination from your current position;
shown in degrees, true or magnetic format.
Course:
The direction traveled to reach a destination.
Off Course (Pos Error):
Distance to the left or right of the course line
when not directly on the course line.
