Main Pages > Compass Page Using the Course Pointer or Bearing Pointer The bearing pointer and course pointer work independently of each other. The bearing pointer indicates the direction to your destination, and the course pointer indicates your relationship to a course line leading to the destination. If the bearing pointer arrow is pointing straight up, for example, you are going directly to your destination. If it points any direction other than up, turn toward that direction until the arrow is pointing up and then continue in that direction. The bearing pointer always points to the destination, regardless of the direction you are moving. (Most efficient if you must move around obstacles in your path.) If you are using the course pointer option, and you drift away from the line of travel from your original location to your destination, the course deviation indicator (an arrow with horizontal dotted line) provides graphic indication of drift (right or left) according to the scale shown at the edge of the compass ring. The bearing pointer always indicates the direction to your destination from your current location. Move to the right or left to get back on course. This is most efficient 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. GPSMAP 60CSx Owner's Manual 53
