Using the Compass
The Compass page guides you to
your destination by displaying a
compass and a bearing pointer.
It also provides navigation data such
as current speed, distance to the next
point on the route, and estimated
arrival time.
The electronic compass (Oregon 300,
400t, 400c, 400i, 550, and 550t) is
similar to a magnetic compass when
you are stationary or walking. If you
maintain a higher speed, such as
traveling in automobile, the compass
uses GPS signals to determine your
direction. To turn the electronic
compass off, see page 31. Hold the
compass level when navigating to
ensure maximum accuracy.
noTe: Holding the compass
level is not necessary if you are
using an Oregon 550 or 550t.
