GPSmap 60CS GPS Navigation The Compass Page The Bearing Pointer always indicates the direction to your destination from your current location. 0.25 mi Scale The Course Pointer indicates your course of travel from your original location and the distance off course. 18 To stop navigation: Highlight "Stop Navigation" and press ENTER to stop navigating. To select the Course Pointer or the Bearing Pointer: The "Bearing Pointer" is the factory set default option. When the "Bearing Pointer" option is displayed, the "Course Pointer" is active and vice versa. Highlight this option and press ENTER to activate. The Bearing Pointer and Course Pointer work independently of each other, one indicating the direction to your destination and the other, your relationship to a course line leading to the destination. For example: If the Bearing Pointer arrow is pointing straight up, you are going directly to your destination. If it points any direction other than up, turn towards that direction until the arrow is pointing up and then continue in that direction. The Bearing Pointer always points to the destination, no matter what direction you are moving. Most efficient if you must move around obstacles (lakes, private property, etc.) in your path. If you are using the "Course Pointer" option instead and you drift away from the line of travel from your original location to your destination, the Course Deviation Indicator (arrow with horizontal dotted line) provides graphic indication of drift (right or left) according to the scale displayed at the edge of the compass ring. Move to the right or left to get back on course. Most efficient if you are navigating on water or where there are no major obstacles in your path. It also helps you avoid hazards to either side of the course such as shoals or submerged rocks.
