Using the Main Pages
The total distance between the two
points and the estimated travel time
appears at the bottom of the page.

Compass Page

The compass page guides you to
your destination by displaying a
compass and a bearing pointer.
When you are navigating to a
specific location, the compass page
displays the name of the location,
two data fields that display distance
to final destination and speed (by
default), and a direction arrow in the
compass ring. Follow the arrow to
navigate.

The electronic compass (used in
the 401) is similar to a magnetic
compass when you are stationary
or walking. If you maintain a
higher speed, such as traveling in
automobile, the compass uses GPS
signals to determine your direction.
NoTe: Hold the compass
level when navigating to ensure
maximum accuracy.
To calibrate the electric
compass:
1. From the compass page, press
enter.
2. Select CALIBRATE.
3. Follow the on-screen instructions.
