Compass Orientation Dial
This dial allows you to orient the compass
display one of three ways.
• North Up—The traditional orientation in
which north is displayed at the top of the
compass. This orientation will provide true
wind readings relative to North.
• Course Up—The orientation in which the direction of travel is displayed at the
top of the compass. This orientation will provide true wind readings relative to
the course of the vehicle/vessel.
• Front/Bow Up—The top of the compass will display the direction that the
vehicle/bow is pointing. This orientation will provide wind readings relative to
the front of the vehicle or bow of the boat. The compass will display 0 – 180° on
the left/port side from front to back. And it will display 0 – 180° on the right/
starboard side from front to back. This setting is useful when the vehicle/vessel
is underway, as it helps determine how the wind will affect the direction and
speed.

either true or magnetic north.
• True North—The direction to the geographic
North Pole
