Compass Page in Marine Mode
The middle of the page features a rotating "compass ring" that
shows your course over ground (track) while you are moving. Your
present course over ground is indicated at the top of the compass
ring. The direction of the destination (bearing) relative to the course
over ground is indicated by an arrow in the middle of the compass
ring and a bearing "bug" on the outside of the compass ring.
If the arrow points up, you are going directly to the waypoint. If the
arrow points any direction other than up, turn toward the arrow until
it points up, then continue in that direction.
