Pointer Page
The Compass Ring is a graphic display of your current
track. As you change direction, the Compass Ring
rotates, aligning your track with the vertical line.
Regardless of your direction, the Pointer always point
toward the active waypoint. The Pointer is aligned with
the vertical line in the Compass Ring when you are
going directly toward the active waypoint. Arriving at
Destination is displayed when the selected waypoint is
reached. It is important to note the Compass Ring does
not act as a true compass. You must be moving for the
Pointer to correctly point towards your destination.
