Garmin GPS 125 Sounder - Manual (Page 50)

Using the Compass Page
The GPS 125 Sounder’s Compass Page provides
graphic steering guidance to a destination waypoint.
The bearing (BRG) and distance (DST) to the waypoint
are displayed at the top of the page, below the destina-
tion waypoint field. The distance displayed is always the
straight-line distance from your present position to the
destination waypoint. The bearing indicates the exact
compass heading from you to the destination.
The middle of the page features a rotating “compass-
ring ” that shows your current heading while you’re mov-
ing (track up), with a pointer arrow to the destination, dis-
played in the center. The arrow shows the direction of
your destination from the direction you are moving. If the
arrow points up, you are going directly to the waypoint. If
the arrow points any other direction (left, right, down,
etc.), turn toward the arrow until it points up and then
continue in that direction.
The bottom of the Compass Page shows your current
track (TRK), speed (SPD) over the ground, and digital
depth (DPT).
When you are one minute away from the destination
(based on your current speed and track over the ground),
the GPS 125 Sounder will alert you with a flashing on-
screen message box.
