Position Data Page
The Position Data Page shows important navigation data while
navigating a route in Marine Mode. By default, the Position Data
Page shows a compass ribbon, your current latitude and longitude,
date and time, your location in relation to a prominent nearby
landmark such as a waypoint or city, and eight user-selectable data

your current heading with a red, vertical bar. To stay on course, steer
toward the violet bar (or arrows) until it is aligned with the red bar.
