EATURES
Bearing mode takes and stores up to 10 bearings (headings) in memory, b0
through b9. For example, you can store the bearings to a mountain on the horizon
and to a nearby windmill. With two bearings and a map of the area, you can find
your position by triangulation. The more bearings used, the more accurately you
can pinpoint your location on the map.
In Bearing, the Outback can be used as a compass as well as to store
bearings: the Numeric Display shows the current heading, a solid arrow on the
compass rose points to North, a flashing arrow on the compass rose points in the
stored bearing direction, and the display word shows the stored bearing.

2) Press ADVANCE to step from one stored bearing to the next, until the memory
position where you want to store bearing is in the display word.

6) To store another bearing repeat steps 1 through 4.
NOTE: Pressing ENTER while viewing a stored bearing will erase that stored bearing and store a new one.
Take care not to accidentally erase a stored bearing.
