Electronic Compass
PN-40 Only
The PN-40 has an electronic compass that shows your
directions when you are stationary or almost motionless.
When your speed is 1.5 mph or higher, the compass
reading is based on your GPS location.
When the electronic compass reading is not accurate,
“Poor Accuracy” displays in the bottom right corner of the
screen, and a red exclamation point appears in the Heading
info field. When you see this indicator, you may want to
calibrate the compass, unless you know the inaccuracy is
caused by a temporary event, such as being near power
lines or near a magnetic field, such as a car. You may want
to disable the electronic compass when you are in an area
with magnetic interference. For more information, see
Compass and Altimeter
starting on page 74.
Calibrating Sensors
PN-40 only
You can calibrate the PN-40's electronic compass and
barometric altimeter with the Calibrate option on the
Satellite Page menu, the Compass Page menu, and the
Device Setup > Compass & Altimeter menu. The Device
Setup > Compass & Altimeter options allow you to
disable/enable the electronic compass, the barometric
altimeter, and the auto-calibrate altimeter option. For more
information, see
Compass and Altimeter
starting on page 74.
