Compass Page
During active navigation, the Compass Page guides you to your
destination with a graphic compass display and a bearing pointer.
When the pointer is pointing straight up, you are heading directly to
your destination.

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 an arrow in the middle of the compass ring
and a course to steer “bug” on the outside of the compass ring. The
course to steer represents the direction to steer to get back to the
course line.
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, and then continue in that direction.
NOTE: You must be moving for the compass to accurately
update and show your heading.
