Compass Page
The GPSMAP 3006C/3010C features two different navigation pages: Compass and Highway. Whenever
a NAV goto, Follow Track, TracBack, or Follow Route have been activated, the GPSMAP 3006C/3010C’s
Compass Page guides you to your destination with digital readouts and a graphic compass display, which
includes a bearing pointer.
Located on the Compass Page are the Bearing Pointer and a Compass Ring. For a GPS to navigate
properly, it has to be moving. When you are moving, the orange Bearing Pointer points toward your
destination, while the Compass Ring refl ects the direction that you are traveling with a red vertical line at
the top of the Compass Ring. When you are headed directly toward your destination, the Bearing Pointer
points toward the top of the display, aligned with the red vertical line displayed at the top of the Com-
pass Ring. If you are not heading toward your destination, the Bearing Pointer turns, continuing to point
toward your destination. To head toward your destination, turn until the Bearing Pointer is aligned with
the red vertical line in the Compass Ring.
Along the right side of the display are the default data fi elds, the top fi eld is the Speed. Also shown are
the distance to your waypoint (DIST NEXT) and estimated time en route (ETE NEXT). The distance and
en route time decrease as you near your destination.
The Bearing Pointer, or Compass Ring may point in various directions when you are stationary or at
very low speeds. Once you start moving, the pointer is correct.
You may also customize the Compass Page to show other Functions (pg. 19) and different sizes/types
of Digital Data (pg. 20).
