Calibrating the Compass
Calibrate the electronic compass outdoors. To improve heading
accuracy, do not stand near objects that influence magnetic
fields, such as vehicles, buildings, and overhead power lines.
Your device was already calibrated at the factory, and the
device uses automatic calibration by default. If you experience
irregular compass behavior, for example, after moving long
distances or after extreme temperature changes, you can
manually calibrate the compass.

From the app drawer, select Compass.

Select
> Calibrate Compass > Start.

line when you go off-course to avoid obstacles or hazards.
To enable the course pointer, from the app drawer, select Setup
> Heading > Go To Line (Pointer) > Course (CDI).
Course line pointer. Indicates the direction of the desired course line
from your starting point to your next waypoint.
Course deviation indicator (CDI). Indicates the location of the
desired course line in relation to your location. If the CDI is aligned
with the course line pointer, you are on course.
Course deviation distance. The dots indicate your distance off
course. The distance represented by each dot is indicated by the
scale in the upper-right corner.
To-and-from indicator. Indicates whether you are headed to or from
the next waypoint.
