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.
