Compass
When navigating to a destination,
the bearing pointer points to your
destination, regardless of the direction
you are moving. When the bearing
pointer points toward the top of the
electronic 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.
