(GPS MAP → MAIN MENU → COMPASS)
The Active 20 has a 3-axis electronic compass and
a GPS "heading" compass. It switches between
the two at a preset speed. Having both ensures
you have the correct bearings at all times whether
you are moving or stationary. Being 3-axis the GPS
unit does not need to be held exactly level - but the
results make more sense if you do.
It is important to periodically Calibrate the Compass.

Note: If you are having trouble with calibrating
the compass by moving it in a figure-of-eight,
try the following method:
Place the device flat on its back with the
screen facing upwards, then rotate the device
horizontally so that the screen faces the
ground then back upwards. Then rotate the
device so the screen faces away from you and
then towards you. Essentially, make sure the
screen faces every direction.
