When using the 'Set Course'
feature, the 'Pointer'
indicates a direct bearing to
your destination. The center
of the pointer (D-Bar) will
show your cross track (the
distance you are right or left
of the desired course). The
example above shows that
you are headed toward your
destination but have drifted
off course to the left about
50 feet. To return to your
desired course turn toward
the D-Bar (right) until the
D-Bar aligns with the
pointer
