Compass Page The Compass Page provides graphic steering guidance to a destination waypoint, with an emphasis on the bearing to your destination and current direction of travel. The middle of the page features a rotating compass ring that shows your course over ground (track) while you are moving, and a bearing pointer that indicates the direction of the destination (bearing) relative to the course over ground. The compass ring and map pointer work independently to show-at a glance-the direction of your movement and the direction to your destination. For instance, 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-then continue in that direction. This page provides better steering guidance when traveling at slower speeds and/or when making frequent directional changes. When you are not navigating to a waypoint, the compass ring shows the current direction of travel but the arrow does not appear. NOTE: The bearing pointer, bearing bug, and compass ring can point in various directions when you are stationary or at very low speeds. When you start moving, the map pointer is correct. 32 GPSMAP 292/298 Owner's Manual

Compass Page
The Compass Page provides graphic steering guidance to a
destination waypoint, with an emphasis on the bearing to your
destination and current direction of travel. The middle of the
page features a rotating compass ring that shows your course
over ground (track) while you are moving, and a bearing pointer
that indicates the direction of the destination (bearing) relative
to the course over ground. The compass ring and map pointer
work independently to show—at a glance—the direction of your
movement and the direction to your destination. For instance, 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—then continue in that direction.
This page provides better steering guidance when traveling at
slower speeds and/or when making frequent directional changes.
When you are not navigating to a waypoint, the compass ring
shows the current direction of travel but the arrow does not appear.
NOTE:
The bearing pointer, bearing bug, and compass ring
can point in various directions when you are stationary or at
very low speeds. When you start moving, the map pointer is
correct.
