Garmin 278 Manual De Usuario

During active navigation, the Compass Page guides you to your 

destination with a graphic compass display and a bearing pointer. 

When the pointer is pointing straight up, you are heading directly to 

your destination.

Data fields

The middle of the page features a rotating compass ring that shows 

your course over ground (track) while you are moving. Your present 

course over ground is indicated at the top of the compass ring. The 

direction of the destination (bearing) relative to the course over 

ground is indicated by an arrow in the middle of the compass ring 

and a course to steer “bug” on the outside of the compass ring. The 

course to steer represents the direction to steer to get back to the 

course line.

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, and then continue in that direction. 

  NOTE: You must be moving for the compass to accurately 

update and show your heading. 

The Compass Page is on by default in Marine Mode but off by 

default in Automotive Mode.
