The 

Compass

 Page is a convenient, intuitive aid to navigation. Like the Naviga-

tion Page, there actually are two Compass pages, 

COMPASS1

 and 

COMPASS2

.

They will show your current direction of travel and, once a destination has been
set, it will show the Bearing toward the desired destination.

COMPASS1

, the default page, depicts the Course Over Ground (COG) as a thin

black line which always points toward the top of the Compass. On the Compass
scale itself will be found a arrow, which points in the direction of the current
Bearing to destination. Adjusting your course to match the Bearing will cause the
black line and the arrow to coincide, confirming that you are traveling along the
correct path.

COMPASS 2

, which may be selected with a single press of either the [

IN

] or

[

OUT

] key,

Is a North-facing Compass display, where the current Course is shown by a very
large arrow, and the desired Bearing is shown by a solid black line.

If you ever get confused by which indicator is which, it may be helpful to return
to the 

Highway

 page, so as to get a further confirmation as to the proper Course.

However, 

COMPASS1

 includes provision for a four-field Data display, similar

to that found on the other pages, and if “

COG

” (Course Over Ground) and “

BRG

”

(Bearing) are selected, there should be no confusion.
