Garmin GPS II Owner's Manual page 23

Compass Page
The compass page is the default navigation page for the GPS II, and provides a
rotating compass in the middle of the page. The compass ring shows your actual
direction of travel while you're moving, and the pointer arrow in the middle points
to your destination (selected waypoint). As you move toward 'HOME', notice how
the compass rose and the pointer arrow provide a clear picture of the direction
you're moving and the direction of 'HOME'. Note: The pointer arrow may not give
accurate direction guidance unless you are moving at a fast pace.
The bearing and distance to a waypoint are displayed at the top of the screen,
and your current track and speed are shown below. The default 'ETE' field, at the
bottom of the screen between the 'track' and 'speed' fields (Fig. 17a), is a user-selec-
table field that can provide a variety of navigation information. We'll cover more
about that field in the reference section of this manual.
As you get close to 'HOME', you'll be alerted to press PAGE. The GPS II will give
you the message "Approaching HOME" (Fig. 17b). Once you've arrived, you'll notice
the distance field will read 0.00.
