When you are able to turn toward the destination, follow
the Pointer until it points toward the top of the display
and aligns with the line in the Compass Ring. When the
Pointer and Line are aligned, your Track and Bearing will
be equal and you will be headed toward your destination.
When you are near your destination, a message 'Arriving
at Destination' will be displayed.

As you start walking, you will see that the Pointer is pointed at your destina-
tion. As soon as you are able, turn toward the Pointer until it is aligned with
the vertical line in the Compass Ring. As you continue walking, and approach
your HOME waypoint, a message will be displayed alerting you that you have
arrived.
Congratulations, you should have enough basic knowledge of your GPSMAP
76 to begin navigating on your own. Be safe; remember that while the GPS is very
reliable, you should always have a backup means of navigation.
