Tip: Setting the back-on-track
threshold to a large value
prevents excessive prompts.
Setting the back-on-track
threshold to a small value
provides a quicker notification
when you are off course.
Tip: Direct to Next Waypoint
points the compass arrow
in the direction of the next
waypoint; this is the best
option when you are trying to
get to the next waypoint with
the shortest distance. Back on
Course points the compass
arrow to the highlighted route.
This is the best option when
you are trying to stay on the
route highlight.
