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. Direction you are currently traveling Scale Bearing to destination Course deviation indicator Course line to destination Course Pointer Basic Navigation The course pointer provides an indication of drift (right or left) according to the scale shown at the edge of the compass ring. The scale refers to the distance between dots on the course deviation indicator. The course line to your destination is based on your original starting point. Move back to the "course line to destination" to compensate for deviation and to get back on course. This is most useful 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. To change the Compass page data fields: 1. On the Compass page, touch a data field. 2. Touch a data type. Dakota Series Owner's Manual 11
