Bearing is the direction of a line-of-sight from your present position to a
destination. No matter what direction you are steering, the Bearing
shows the compass direction straight to the destination from your loca-
tion at the moment. Off Course tells you how far you are to the left or
right of the intended direction or line of travel toward a destination. Most
of the unit's displays show Off Course as "Cross Track" or "XTK."

To change settings, you need to specify which map the Menu, Zoom In
and Zoom Out keys correspond to. To do this, switch the active map by
