movement, press the ROCKER key up one time. This
sets a speed of 10 miles per hour. If you continue to
press or hold the ROCKER key, the speed increases in
10 mph increments.
The Pointer page displays a Pointer and Compass
Ring. The Pointer always point toward your destination
(Bearing) while the Compass Ring reflects the direction
that you are traveling (Track). When you are headed
directly toward your destination, the Pointer is pointing
toward the top of the display, aligned with the vertical
line on the Compass Ring. If you are no longer heading
toward your destination, the Pointer turns away from
the top of the display to point toward your destination.
To get headed toward your destination again, turn
until the Pointer is realigned with the vertical line in
the Compass Ring and pointed toward the top of
the display.
Note: Remember that while the GPS is very
reliable, you should always have a backup means
of navigation.
