Using the Compass Page
The Compass Page is standard in Marine Mode and optional in Automotive Mode. During active
navigation, the Compass Page guides you to your destination with digital data fi eld readouts and a
graphic compass display with a bearing pointer.
To show the Compass Page in Automotive Mode:
1. While in Automotive Mode, press MENU twice to display the Main Menu.
2. Use the
ARROW KEYPAD to highlight the Display Tab.
3. Highlight the Compass Page fi eld and press
ENTER/MARK. Select ‘On’ and press ENTER/MARK.
The middle of the page features a rotating “compass ring” that shows your course over ground (track)
while you are moving. Your present course over ground is indicated at the top of the compass ring. The
direction of the destination (bearing) relative to the course over ground is indicated by a bearing pointer
in the middle of the compass ring and a bearing “bug” on the outside of the compass ring (Note: the
bearing bug is a feature of Marine mode only). The compass ring and bearing indicators work indepen-
dently to show, at a glance, the direction of your movement and the direction to your destination. For
instance, if the arrow points up, you are going directly to the waypoint. If the arrow points any direction
other than up, turn toward the arrow until it points up, then continue in that direction.
NOTE:
You must be moving for the compass to accurately update and display your heading.
The right side of the Compass Pages features user-selectable data fi elds that display helpful informa-
tion during active navigation. For defi nitions of data fi eld settings, refer to the Appendix.
During active navigation in Automotive Mode, the Compass Page displays navigation information at
the top of the screen, such as automatic turn-by-turn directions. Automotive Mode features larger data
fi elds with default settings that are more desirable for land navigation than those in Marine Mode.
