Garmin 520 - Manual (Page 42)

Compass Page
The Compass Page provides active guidance with a
rotating compass ring that shows your course (heading)
while you are moving and a bearing pointer to indicate
the current direction to your destination (bearing) relative
to the course.
The Data Fields at the top of the page provide you with
navigation information. The list of data field choices and
definitions may be found in the “Appendix.”
The Compass Ring functions as a magnetic compass
when you are stationary (Rino 530 only). When you are
moving, the heading is controlled by the GPS receiver
(based upon settings customized in the Heading Setup
Page).
NOTE: The Compass on the Rino 530 must be cali-
brated for the greatest accuracy. Refer to page 3 6 for
information on calibrating the compass.
Using the Compass Page
The two main components of the Compass Page are the
Bearing Pointer and Compass Ring. The Bearing Pointer
always points directly to the destination, no matter what
your current location might be. The Compass Ring
displays your heading.
