When navigating to a waypoint or following a route, the Navigation
screen looks like the one shown in the following image. Customizable
data boxes on this screen can show information such as your ground
speed, track, distance and bearing to your destination.
Navigation Page, going to an address. The compass is in Bearing Up mode,
so you can see that the destination is to your southeast. Your current fac-
ing is southeast (a 137º heading) toward an address 137º (bearing) away. If
you were navigating to a waypoint, the waypoint's icon would appear on
the edge of the compass rose, indicating the proper direction. An informa-
tion box on this screen indicates the destination is 523 miles away.
Calibrate Compass
To find your heading, the iFINDER uses a sensor that detects the mag-
netic field in the area. This field can be affected by any large object,
particularly by metallic items such as your car or the barrel of your ri-
fle. Over time, all these variations gradually interfere with the
iFINDER's measurements and will result in poor performance by the
compass.
In order to keep your iFINDER reporting accurate compass headings, all
you have to do is calibrate it when you begin to notice deterioration in its
performance. To do this, use the
