The Pointer Page helps guide you to a destination.
When you're moving with no particular destination in
mind, the Pointer Page shows you your moving direction
and speed. When you're moving towards a specifi c
destination, the Pointer Page shows you the name of the
location, the distance and time to go, and displays a
direction arrow in the compass ring. To navigate, simply
follow the arrow.
By pressing the UP or DOWN Buttons, you can
cycle through other trip computer information such as
average speed, maximum speed, moving direction
(heading), bearing, latitude/longitude, elevation, time of
sunrise/sunset, trip timer and trip odometer.

NOTE: The direction arrow, destination symbol
and bearing information only appear on the
Pointer Page when you have started a GOTO, a
route or a TracBack.
