Pointer Page

The Pointer Page is best used for navigation when a straight line course can not be fol-

lowed. The Pointer Page has User Selectable Data Fields along the top, a Active Waypoint
Field, Compass Ring and a Pointer.

The Compass Ring is a graphic display of your current track. As you change direction,

the Compass Ring will rotate, aligning your track with the vertical line. As you change
direction, the Pointer will always point toward the active waypoint. When you are going
directly toward the active waypoint, the Pointer is aligned with the vertical line in the
Compass Ring. When you arrive at the waypoint, a message ‘Arriving at Destination’ will
be displayed. It is important to note that the Compass Ring does not act as a true compass.
You must be moving for the Compass Ring and Pointer to update and provide accurate
navigation.
