The compass ring is an electronic compass that
functions like a magnetic compass when you are
stationary. When you are moving and reach a pre-set
speed, it uses data from the GPS receiver to maintain
your heading. When you stop (after a pre-set time), it
again operates like a magnetic compass. The compass
ring is especially helpful when using a paper map or
chart with your Receiver for navigation. When the
electronic compass is on, a compass icon
functions like a magnetic compass when you are
stationary. When you are moving and reach a pre-set
speed, it uses data from the GPS receiver to maintain
your heading. When you stop (after a pre-set time), it
again operates like a magnetic compass. The compass
ring is especially helpful when using a paper map or
chart with your Receiver for navigation. When the
electronic compass is on, a compass icon
appears
in the status bar.
Using the Electronic Compass
When you turn the electronic compass off, it stays off
until you turn it on again. However, sometimes when
you turn the electronic compass on, the Receiver
overrides the compass and uses the GPS receiver to
track your heading. In fact, when you are moving at
a steady rate, the GPS receiver operates the compass.
When stationary, the electronic compass is active to
provide you accurate headings. You can customize the
criteria for switching between the electronic compass
and the GPS as explained in the Heading setup section
on page 75.
