Garmin 10 User Guide

Basic Navigation

The Compass page guides you to 

your destination by displaying a 

compass and a bearing pointer.
It also provides navigation data such 

as current speed, distance to the next 

point on the route, and estimated 

arrival time.
The electronic compass is similar 

to a magnetic compass when you 

are stationary or walking. If you 

maintain a higher speed, such 

as traveling in an automobile, 

the compass uses GPS signals to 

determine your direction. To turn the 

electronic compass off, see 

page 28.

  NoTe: The electronic compass is 

unavailable with the Dakota 10.

Calibrate the electronic compass 

outdoors. Do not stand near objects 

that influence magnetic fields, such 

as cars, buildings, or overhead power 

lines.
Calibrate the compass after moving 

long distances, experiencing 

temperature changes greater than 

20°F (11°C), or changing the 

batteries.
