Calibrating the compass

Calibrate the electronic compass outdoors. To improve heading accuracy, do not stand near metal objects or
objects that influence magnetic fields, such as vehicles, electronic devices, buildings or overhead power lines.
When your device is connected to the magnetic mount, it uses GPS data to determine your compass heading.
When you remove the device from the magnetic mount, it uses a built-in compass to show your heading.
Each time you disconnect your device from the magnetic mount, the device prompts you to calibrate the
compass. If you experience irregular compass behaviour, for example, after moving long distances or after
extreme temperature changes, you can manually calibrate the compass to improve accuracy.
1 Disconnect the device from the magnetic mount and move away from objects that influence magnetic fields.
2 Select
> Calibrate Compass.
3 Follow the on-screen instructions.
The inReach remote function allows you to control your inReach device using your Overlander device. You can
send messages, view weather reports, trigger an SOS alert and more. Go to

SOS

During an emergency, you can contact the GEOS International Emergency Rescue Coordination Center (IERCC)

appropriate emergency responders of your situation. You can communicate with the rescue coordination centre
during your emergency while you wait for help to arrive. You should only use the SOS function in a real
