8.4.4 Compensating the compass
Initial setup: Auto mode
The course and bearing to waypoint is shown in true bearing. You can adjust the GPS true bearing to
the magnetic compass bearing.
(Automatic compensation)
In the Auto mode, the magnetic compass is compensated based on the built-in global magnetic
variation maps. However, avoid using this mode if you are higher than 75 degrees North or South
latitude. As the compass may have a small error because the system contains world maps. Manual
correction is recommended. For areas that do not allow exact translation of a true bearing to a
magnetic bearing, despite the map covering the whole world, the resulting value may differ from the
actual deviation.
