Garmin 60cs Manuale Proprietario

When you manually turn the Compass Off, it stays off until you 

manually turn it On again. Sometimes, however, when you turn the 
Compass On, the GPSmap 60CS overrides the Compass and uses the GPS 
receiver to track your heading. The criteria for switching between the 
Compass and the GPS can be customized. (See below.)

1. Press and hold the 

button to turn the Electronic Compass 

On or Off. A Compass Icon displays in the Status Bar at the top 

of the display when the Compass is On. When not in use, turn 

the Electronic Compass off to conserve batteries. When the 

Compass is Off, the unit uses the GPS receiver for navigation.

2. Hold the GPSmap 60CS level to get an accurate Electronic 

Compass reading. A “Hold Level” reminder displays if you are 

not holding the Compass correctly, or if it is not calibrated. (See 

the following page for calibration instructions.)

1. From the Main Menu, highlight Setup and press ENTER to 

display the Setup Menu.

2. Highlight the Heading icon and press 

ENTER to display the 

Heading Setup Page.

3. Highlight the “Switch to compass heading when below...” 

field, press ENTER and use the numeric keypad to enter the 
desired speed. Highlight the “...for more than...” field and press 
ENTER to set the time delay from the time options list.
