but also the direction to a recalled waypoint. It also has a Navigation with

NOTE:
Remember, when information displays are flashing, satellite lock
has not been achieved and no position fix has been determined. A
question mark will also flash on the present position arrow in the
center of the compass rose.
Speed (ground speed) is the velocity you are making over the ground. (If you
wish, you can customize the Speed window to display Closing Speed instead.
Closing Speed is the speed that you're making toward the waypoint. For
instructions, see the Customize Page Displays entry in Sec. 8.).
Track is the heading, or the current direction you are actually traveling. Bearing
is the direction of a line-of-sight from your present position to the destination.
No matter what direction you are steering, the Bearing window shows the
compass direction straight to the destination from your location at the moment.
Distance shows how far it is to the waypoint you're navigating toward.
The Off Course window shows the current cross track error. This shows
the distance you are off-course to the side of the desired course line. The
course line is an imaginary line drawn from your position when you
started navigating to the destination waypoint. The course line is shown
on the Navigation Page screen (and the Map Page screen) as a line.
