Compass

When navigating to a destination,
the bearing pointer points to your
destination, regardless of the direction
you are moving. When the bearing
pointer points toward the top of the
electronic compass, you are traveling
directly toward your destination. If
it points any other direction, turn
toward that direction until the arrow is
pointing toward the top of the compass.
