Using the Compass Screen

As well as displaying the customizable navigation data, the
COMPASS screen provides a pointer compass to help you
reach your destination.

Steering Indicator
Displays the bearing of
the destination relative
to the course over

ground.

Destination Icon
Shows the general
direction you should be
traveling.

COG Indicator

Displays

direction you are traveling.
The COG indicator always
points up and the compass
rotates according to the COG.

When the COG
Indicator and the
Steering Indicator
point in the same
direction, you are
on course.

The
NorthFinder™
feature displays
sun and moon
icons, above the
horizon, for you
to determine the
direction of north
and your
destination. Align
the sun on the
COMPASS screen
with the sun in
the sky. When
aligned, the
Steering Indicator
will point you in
the direction you
should travel to
reach your
destination.

tion data that you prefer to view.
