Whenever a destination has been selected using the ‘Off Road’ routing preference or 

when navigating a manual route, the Direction Finder Page appears in the main page 
sequence—in place of the Current Route Page.  The Direction Finder Page will guide 
you to your destination with a graphic compass-like display and a bearing pointer.  
Digital readouts adjacent to the graphic compass display your current speed, distance 
to next waypoint, arrival time at next waypoint, and current elevation.  Each for these 
four digital readouts (data fi elds) is user-selectable and may be confi gured to display 
other data.

When moving, the rotating graphic compass shows your the direction you are 

heading.  The bearing pointer indicates the direction (bearing) to the next waypoint, 
relative to your current heading direction.  The graphic compass and bearing pointer 
work independently to show, at a glance, the direction of your movement and the 
direction to your destination.  For instance, if the arrow points up, you are going 
directly to the waypoint.  If the arrow points any direction other than up, move in the 
direction of the arrow until it points up—then continue in that direction.
