During active navigation, the Compass page guides 

you to your destination with a graphic compass display 

and a bearing or course pointer.

It uses a graphic compass ring, a bearing or course 

pointer, and digital data fields to show information, 

such as current speed, distance to the next point on the 

route, and estimated arrival time. 
The rotating compass ring indicates the direction 

you are heading. The bearing and course pointers 

indicate the direction (bearing to or course of travel) 

to your destination, relative to your current heading 

direction. The compass ring, bearing pointer or course 

pointer work independently to show your direction of 

movement and the direction to your destination. You 

can choose a bearing pointer or course pointer for 

guidance. 

When you first use the Colorado or after you install 

new batteries, you have to calibrate the electronic 

compass outdoors. The accuracy of the electronic 

compass is adversely affected if the unit is not held 

level or you are near objects that generate magnetic 

fields, such as cars or buildings. 
To calibrate the electronic compass:

1.  From the Compass page, select

Options > 

Calibrate Compass.

2.  Press

Enter to Start, and follow on-screen

directions for holding and turning the unit.
