Compass Page
The Compass Page provides active guidance with a 
rotating compass ring that shows your course (heading) 
while you are moving and a bearing pointer to indicate 
the current direction to your destination (bearing) relative 
to the course. 
The Data Fields at the top of the page provide you with 
navigation information. The list of data field choices and 
definitions may be found in the “Appendix.”
The Compass Ring functions as a magnetic compass 
when you are stationary (Rino 530 only). When you are 
moving, the heading is controlled by the GPS receiver 
(based upon settings customized in the Heading Setup 
Page). 
 
NOTE: The Compass on the Rino 530 must be cali-
brated for the greatest accuracy. Refer to 
 for 
information on calibrating the compass.
Using the Compass Page
The two main components of the Compass Page are the 
Bearing Pointer and Compass Ring. The Bearing Pointer 
always points directly to the destination, no matter what 
your current location might be. The Compass Ring 
displays your heading.
