options:

The Bearing Pointer and Compass Ring work inde-
pendently of the direction of your movement and the
direction to your destination. The Bearing Pointer always
points directly to the destination, no matter what your
current location might be.
For example: if the arrow is pointing straight up,
you are going directly to your destination. If it points
any direction other than up, turn toward the arrow until
it points up and then continue in that direction. If you
are using the 'Course Pointer' option instead and you
drift away from the line of travel to your destination,
the Course Deviation Indicator (CDI) provides graphic
indication of drift (right or left) and displays the distance
off course.
