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 compass ring and bearing indicators work independently to 

show the direction of your movement and the direction to your 

destination. 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, then continue in that direction. 

The right side of the Compass Pages features user-selectable data 

fields that show additional information during active navigation.
