Whenever a Go To, Follow Track (TracBack) or Follow Route have been activated, the GPSMAP
2006/2010’s Compass Page will guide you to your destination with digital readouts and a graphic compass
display, which includes a bearing pointer. Use this page when travelling at slower speeds, when making
frequent directional changes, or where straight-line navigation is not possible due to obstructions or
terrain. The left side of the page features a rotating ‘compass ring’ that shows your course over ground
(track) while you’re moving. Your present course over ground is indicated at the top of the compass ring.
A bearing pointer arrow, in the middle of the compass ring, and a bearing ‘bug’ indicator on the outside
of the compass ring, indicate the direction of the destination (bearing) relative to the course over ground.
The compass ring and pointer arrow work independently to show—at a glance—the direction of your
movement and the direction to your destination. For instance, 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 and bug
indicator until it points up, then continue in that direction.

you are stationary or at very low speeds. Once you start moving, the pointer will be correct.
