Compass
When navigating to a destination, 
the   bearing pointer points to your 
destination, regardless of the direction 
you are moving. When the bearing 
pointer points toward the top of the 
electronic compass, you are traveling 
directly toward your destination. If 
it points any other direction, turn 
toward that direction until the arrow is 
pointing toward the top of the compass.
Calibrating the Compass
notice
Calibrate the electronic compass 
outdoors. Do not stand near objects that 
influence magnetic fields, such as cars, 
buildings, or overhead power lines.
NOTE: The three-axis compass is 
available only with the GPSMAP 62s 
and GPSMAP 62st.
You should calibrate the compass after 
moving long distances, experiencing 
temperature changes, or changing the 
batteries.
1.  From the compass, press MENu.
2.  Select Calibrate Compass > Start.
3.  Follow the on-screen instructions.
