Using the Compass Page
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 decreases as you near your destination.
To stop Going To a point:
1. Press the NAV key.
2. Highlight ‘Stop Navigation’ and press
ENTER (or press the DATA ENTRY shortcut number).
