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.
1 From the app drawer, select Compass.
2 Select
> Calibrate Compass > Start.
3 Follow the on-screen instructions.

Course Pointer

The course pointer is most useful when you are navigating to your destination in a straight line, such as when
you are navigating on water. It can help you navigate back to the course 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.

Navigating with Sight 'N Go

You can point the device at an object in the distance with the compass direction locked in, project the object as
a waypoint, and navigate using the object as a reference point.
1 From the app drawer, select Sight 'N Go.
2 Point the device at an object.
3 Select Lock Direction > Set Course.
4 Navigate using the compass.
