the display. The pointer points toward your
destination. When the pointer is aligned with
the vertical line at the top of the compass ring,
you are on a direct course toward your destina-
tion. The unit has to be moving to navigate. If
you are standing still or moving very slowly,
the navigation data may not be accurate.

is updated showing their new position. A

shown on your map.
