Garmin 640 Guida Utente

Marine Mode: Using the Dashboard

Use the Dashboard to view important data such as navigation and 

trip information on one screen, without using the chart screens.

From the Home screen, touch 

 > 

 to view the 

Compass screen.

After you set a course using go to, or create a route using 

route to, you can use the Compass screen to follow the course or 

route.
You can view your current heading and the corrected course on the 

Compass screen. When you veer off course, the distance between 

your current heading and the corrected course is called the Course 

to Steer, and is shaded orange on the compass.

  CautioN: Just as on the Navigation chart, a direct course and 

a corrected course may pass over land or shallow water. Use 

visual sightings and steer to avoid land, shallow water, and other 

dangerous objects.

1.  After you set a course, from the Home screen, touch 

 > 

.

2.  Follow the orange corrected-course pointer and steer off course 

to avoid land, shallow water, and other obstacles on the water.

3.  When you are off course, turn toward the orange corrected-

course pointer to reduce the shaded orange Course to Steer 

and continue to the next turn in the route or to your destination.
