do not work the same in point-to-point mode, but several data types can

help guide you. One of the easiest to use is the Steering Arrow. The

Steering Arrow shows which way to steer to a destination.
It always points to the destination, regard-

less of the map orientation. The arrow

automatically shows the distance from

your current position to the destination. In

addition to the Steer arrow, the most com-

monly used overlay data for point-to-point

navigation are:

Track:

The direction traveled; shown in de-

grees, true or magnetic format.

Bearing:

The direction to a destination from your current position;

shown in degrees, true or magnetic format.

Course:

The direction traveled to reach a destination.

Off Course (Pos Error):

Distance to the left or right of the course line

when not directly on the course line.
