Calibrating the Compass

Calibrate the electronic compass outdoors. To improve heading
accuracy, do not stand near objects that influence magnetic
fields, such as vehicles, buildings, and overhead power lines.
Your device was already calibrated at the factory, and the
device uses automatic calibration by default. If you experience
irregular compass behavior, for example, after moving long
distances or after extreme temperature changes, you can
manually calibrate the compass.
1
Select Compass > > Calibrate Compass > Start.
2
Follow the on-screen instructions.

Course Pointer

The course pointer 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.
To enable the course pointer, from the compass, select Setup >
Heading > Go To Line/Pointer > Course (CDI).
The course pointer indicates your relationship to the course
line leading to the destination. The course deviation indicator
(CDI) provides the indication of drift (right or left) from the
course. The scale refers to the distance between dots
the course deviation indicator, which tell you how far off course
you are.
