Pointer Page Options
In addition to the basics covered on page 5, there are several other Pointer Page options:
• Sight 'N Go: This feature allows the user to visually locate a landmark and lock its magnetic
bearing. Once a bearing is locked you have the option of creating a projection waypoint or
navigating along the locked bearing. Sight 'N' Go requires a GPS fix and a calibrated compass.
To project a waypoint using Sight 'N Go:
1. Press ENTER to activate the options list.
2. Press the UP or DOWN button to highlight 'SIGHT 'N GO', then press ENTER.
3. Hold the unit level and line up the sighting marks on the case with a distant landmark.
4. Press ENTER to lock the magnetic bearing.
5. Press the UP or DOWN button to select either 'RE-SIGHT' or 'PROJECT'. If you select 'RE-
SIGHT' you will return to step 3. If you selected 'PROJECT' proceed to step 6.
