Compass Page
Using the Compass Page
Located on the Compass Page are the Bearing Pointer, and a Compass Ring. When you are moving, the
Bearing Pointer points toward your destination, while the Compass Ring refl ects the direction that you
are traveling. In short, when you are headed directly toward your destination, the Bearing Pointer will
point toward the top of the display, aligned with the vertical line displayed in the Compass Ring. If you
are not heading toward your destination, the Bearing Pointer will turn, continuing to point toward your
destination. To head toward your destination, turn until the Bearing Pointer is realigned with the vertical
line in the Compass Ring.
The GPSMAP 2006/2010 will allow you to simulate a turn so you can see what will happen.
To simulate a turn:
1. Press the ARROW KEYPAD to the right until the Compass Ring has changed about 40°.
The Bearing Pointer should now be pointing to the left. This is exactly what will happen during actual
navigation. To get back on course, press the ARROW KEYPAD to the left, simulating a left turn. When
the Bearing Pointer is aligned with the vertical line in the Compass Ring, you are headed directly toward
the destination waypoint.
Congratulations you should now have enough experience to use the basic functions of your GPSMAP
2006/2010. Enjoy your new GPSMAP 2006/2010 and thank you for choosing GARMIN.
