Basic Navigation

The Oregon can use either a bearing 

pointer or a course pointer on the 

compass. The bearing pointer 

indicates the direction to your 

destination, and the course pointer 

indicates your relationship to a 

course line leading to the destination. 

To select a bearing or course pointer, 

The bearing pointer points to 

your destination, regardless of the 

direction you are moving. If the 

bearing pointer points toward the 

top of the compass, you are traveling 

directly toward your destination. If 

it points any other direction, turn 

toward that direction until the arrow 

is pointing toward the top of the 

compass.

The course pointer provides an 

indication of drift (right or left)
