For the compass to work, the GPS must be moving. When you are moving, the
orange Bearing Pointer points toward your destination, while the Compass Ring
reflects the direction you are traveling by a red vertical line at the top of the
Compass ring. When you are headed directly toward your destination, the Bearing
Pointer points toward the top of the screen, aligned with the red vertical line
at the top of the Compass ring. If you are not heading toward your destination,
the Bearing Pointer turns, continuing to point toward your destination. To head
toward your destination, turn until the Bearing Pointer is aligned with the red
vertical line in the Compass ring.
Along the right side of the screen are the default data fields; the top field is speed.
Also shown are the distance to your waypoint (DIST NEXT) and estimated time
en route (ETE NEXT). The distance and en route time decrease as you near your
destination.
The Bearing Pointer or Compass ring may point in various directions when
you are stationary or at very low speeds. When you start moving, the pointer is
correct.
You can customize the Compass Page to show other functions and different sizes
or types of Digital Data fields.

3D Highway Page

The 3D Highway Page provides 3-D graphic steering guidance to a destination
waypoint, placing greater emphasis on the straight-line course, and the distance
and direction you are off course. As you head toward your destination, the middle
of the screen guides you to your waypoint on a moving highway. Your present
location is at the bottom-center of the 3D Highway Page. Three-dimensional
cartography provides situational awareness while navigating. The line down the
middle of the highway represents your course.

As you head toward your destination, the highway perspective moves to indicate
your progress to the waypoint and which direction you should steer to stay on
course. If you are navigating a route, the 3D Highway Page shows each route
waypoint in sequence connected by a magenta "road" with a line down the
middle. As you navigate toward a waypoint, the highway moves, indicating the
direction you are off course. To stay on course, steer toward the center of the
highway. You can also view Routes details, nearby waypoints not in the active
route, Track Log points, and Saved Tracks.
