Compass Page Use the Compass page to provide active guidance with a compass ring that shows your course (heading) while you are moving and a bearing pointer to indicate the current direction to your destination (bearing) relative to the course. Data fields at the top of the page provide navigation information. The Compass Ring functions as a magnetic compass when you are stationary (Rino 530HCx feature only). Selectable data fields Compass ring Bearing pointer Basic Operation Using the Compass Page The two main components of the Compass page are the bearing pointer and compass ring. The bearing pointer always points directly to the destination, no matter what your current location might be. The compass ring indicates your heading. While you are navigating a route, the bearing pointer indicates the direction (a bent arrow) of the turn to the next point in the route as well as the direction to the current point. For example, if the arrow is pointing straight up, you are going directly to your destination. If it points any direction other than up, turn and move towards the direction the arrow is pointing until it points up, and then continue in that direction. If you are using the course pointer option instead and you drift away from the original line of travel to your destination, the course deviation indicator (CDI) provides graphic indication of drift (right or left) and shows the distance off course.

Using the Compass Page
The two main components of the Compass page are the
bearing pointer and compass ring. The bearing pointer
always points directly to the destination, no matter
what your current location might be. The compass ring
indicates your heading. While you are navigating a route,
the bearing pointer indicates the direction (a bent arrow)
of the turn to the next point in the route as well as the
direction to the current point.
For example, if the arrow is pointing straight up, you
are going directly to your destination. If it points any
direction other than up, turn and move towards the
direction the arrow is pointing until it points up, and
then continue in that direction. If you are using the
course pointer option instead and you drift away from
the original line of travel to your destination, the course
deviation indicator (CDI) provides graphic indication of
drift (right or left) and shows the distance off course.
