Garmin Oregon 300 Quick Reference Guide - Page 4

To view the compass: Note: the Oregon 200 series has only a GPS compass and does not include an electronic compass. 1. Touch Compass. 2. For the Oregon 300, and 400 series, hold the compass level when navigating. The bearing pointer points to your destination, regardless of the direction you are moving. If the bearing pointer points toward the top of the compass, you are traveling directly toward your destination. If it points any other direction, turn toward that direction until the arrow is pointing toward the top of the compass.  Calibrate the compass after moving long distances, experiencing temperature changes, or changing the batteries. To calibrate the electronic compass: 1. While outdoors, hold the Oregon level and do not stand near objects that influence magnetic fields, such as cars, buildings, or overhead power lines. 2. Touch Setup > Heading > Press To Begin Compass Calibration. 3. Touch Start and follow the on-screen directions. Oregon Series Quick Start Manual
