Calibrating the Compass

NOTICE

Calibrate the electronic compass outdoors. To improve heading

accuracy, do not stand near objects that influence magnetic

fields, such as vehicles, buildings, and overhead power lines.

Your device was already calibrated at the factory, and the

device uses automatic calibration by default. If you experience

irregular compass behavior, for example, after moving long

distances or after extreme temperature changes, you can

manually calibrate the compass.

1

Select Compass > > Calibrate Compass > Start.

2

Follow the on-screen instructions.

Course Pointer

The course pointer is most useful if you are navigating on water

or where there are no major obstacles in your path. It also helps

you avoid hazards to either side of the course, such as shoals

or submerged rocks.
To enable the course pointer, from the compass, select Setup >

Heading > Go To Line/Pointer > Course (CDI).

The course pointer

À

indicates your relationship to the course

line leading to the destination. The course deviation indicator

(CDI)

Â

provides the indication of drift (right or left) from the

course. The scale

Á

refers to the distance between dots

Ã

on

the course deviation indicator, which tell you how far off course

you are.
