The Compass Page provides graphic steering guidance to a 

destination waypoint, with an emphasis on the bearing to your 

destination and current direction of travel. The middle of the 

page features a rotating compass ring that shows your course 

over ground (track) while you are moving, and a bearing pointer 

that indicates the direction of the destination (bearing) relative 

to the course over ground. The compass ring and pointer arrow 

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, turn toward the arrow 

until it points up—then continue in that direction. 
The current speed, distance to the next waypoint, turn angle and 

current location appear at the top of the screen. This page provides 

better steering guidance when traveling at slower speeds and/or 

when making frequent directional changes. When you are not 

navigating to a waypoint, the compass ring shows the current 

direction of travel but the arrow does not appear.
