4.6.1 To access COMPASS screen

(GPS MAP → MAIN MENU → COMPASS)

The Active 12 has an electronic compass and a

GPS compass and switches between the two at

a preset speed. Having both ensures you have

the correct bearings at all times whether you are

moving or stationary. It is important that the unit is

held level (like a regular magnetic compass) and is

calibrated correctly.
