Basic Navigation

The bearing pointer points to 

your destination, regardless of the 

direction you are moving. If the 

bearing pointer points toward the 

top of the compass, you are traveling 

directly toward your destination. If 

it points any other direction, turn 

toward that direction until the arrow 

is pointing toward the top of the 

compass.

Course Pointer

Bearing to 

destination

Direction you 

are currently 

traveling

Course line to 

destination

Scale

Course deviation 

indicator

The course pointer provides an 

indication of drift (right or left) 

according to the scale shown at the 

edge of the compass ring. The scale 

refers to the distance between dots 

on the course deviation indicator. 

The course line to your destination is 

based on your original starting point.
Move back to the “course line to 

destination” to compensate for 

deviation and to get back on course. 

This is most useful if you are 

navigating on water or where there 

are no major obstacles in your path. 

It also helps you avoid hazards to 

either side of the course, such as 

shoals or submerged rocks.

data field.

2.  Touch a data type.
