For the compass to work, the GPS must be moving. When you are moving,

the orange Bearing Pointer points toward your destination, while the Compass

Ring reflects the direction you are traveling by a red vertical line at the top

of the Compass Ring. When you are headed directly toward your destination,

the Bearing Pointer points toward the top of the screen, aligned with the red

vertical line at the top of the Compass Ring. If you are not heading toward

your destination, the Bearing Pointer turns, continuing to point toward your

destination. To head toward your destination, turn until the Bearing Pointer is

aligned with the red vertical line in the Compass Ring.
Along the right side of the screen are the default data fields; the top field is speed.

Also shown are the distance to your waypoint (DIST NEXT) and estimated time

en route (ETE NEXT). The distance and en route time decrease as you near your

destination.
The Bearing Pointer or Compass Ring may point in various directions when

you are stationary or at very low speeds. When you start moving, the pointer is

correct.
You can customize the Compass Page to show other functions and different sizes

or types of Digital Data fields. See “Configuring Main Pages” on

for

more information.

3D Highway Page

The 3D Highway Page provides 3-D graphic steering guidance to a destination

waypoint, placing greater emphasis on the straight-line course, and the distance

and direction you are off course. As you head toward your destination, the middle

of the screen guides you to a waypoint on a highway. Your present location is

at the bottom-center of the 3D Highway Page. Three-dimensional cartography

provides situational awareness while navigating. The line down the middle of the

highway represents your course.

As you head toward your destination, the highway perspective moves to indicate

your progress to the waypoint and which direction you should steer to stay on

course. If you are navigating a route, the 3D Highway Page shows each route

waypoint in sequence connected by a magenta “road” with a line down the
