Compass Page During active navigation, the Compass Page guides you to your destination with data fields and a graphic compass screen with a bearing pointer. Rotating compass ring Bug indicator Compass arrow Data fields Compass Page in Marine Mode The middle of the page features a rotating compass ring that shows your course over ground (track) while you are moving. Your present course over ground is indicated at the top of the compass ring. The direction of the destination (bearing) relative to the course over ground is indicated by an arrow in the middle of the compass ring and a course to steer "bug" on the outside of the compass ring. The compass ring and bearing indicators work independently to show the direction of your movement and the direction to your destination. If the arrow points up, you are going directly to the Marine Mode Pages and Features > Compass Page waypoint. If the arrow points any direction other than up, turn toward the arrow until it points up, then continue in that direction. Note: You must be moving for the compass to accurately update and show your heading. The right side of the Compass Page features user-selectable data fields that show additional information during active navigation. For definitions of data field settings, refer to page 147.
