Using the Course Pointer or Bearing
Pointer
The bearing pointer and course pointer are
independent of each other. The bearing pointer
indicates the direction to your destination, and the
course pointer indicates your relationship to a course
line leading to the destination.
If the bearing pointer arrow is pointing straight
up, for example, you are going directly to your
destination. If it points any direction other than up,
turn toward that direction until the arrow is pointing
up and then continue in that direction. The bearing
pointer points to the destination.
The Bearing Pointer always indicates the direction
to your destination from your current location.
If you are using the course pointer option, and you
drift away from the line of travel from your original
location to your destination, the course deviation
indicator (an arrow with horizontal dotted line)
provides graphic indication of drift (right or left)
according to the scale shown on the compass ring.
Move to the right or left to get back on course.
The Course Pointer indicates your course of travel from
your original location and the distance off course.
