The Pointer Page replaces the HSI Page when the 

unit is in Marine or Automotive Mode. During active 

navigation, the Pointer Page guides you to your 

destination with digital data field readouts and a 

graphic Pointer appears with a bearing pointer.  

  While in Automotive or Marine Mode, use 

PAGE to show the Pointer Page.

The bottom of the page features a rotating Pointer ring 

that shows your course over ground (track) while you 

are moving. The course is indicated at the top of the 

Pointer ring.  

The direction of your destination (bearing) relative 

to the course is indicated by a bearing pointer in 

the middle of the Pointer ring. A bearing “bug” 

on the outside of the Pointer ring in Marine mode 

only. The Pointer ring and bearing indicators work 

independently to show, at a glance, 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 other direction turn 

toward the arrow until it points up. The Marine Mode 

is a Course Pointer similar to the HSI, that can be 

selected from the Marine Mode Options Menu.

  NOTE: You must be moving for the Pointer to 

accurately update and show your heading.  

Configurable data fields at the top of the page show 

helpful information during active navigation. For 

definitions of data field settings, refer to the Appendix.
The Automotive Mode features data fields with 

default settings that are more desirable for land 

navigation.
