Using the Course or Bearing Pointer The bearing pointer and course pointer are independent 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 points to the destination. Main Pages 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 on the compass ring. Move to the right or left to get back on course. 0.25 mi Scale The course pointer indicates your course of travel from your original location and the distance off course. The bearing pointer always indicates the direction to your destination from your current location. eTrex HC series Owner's Manual 31
