Marine Mode Pages and Features > 

Compass Page

During active navigation, the Compass Page guides you to your 

destination with data fields and a graphic compass screen with a 

bearing pointer. 

The middle of the page features a rotating compass ring that shows 

your course over ground (track) while you are moving. Your present 

course over ground is indicated at the top of the compass ring. The 

direction of the destination (bearing) relative to the course over 

ground is indicated by an arrow in the middle of the compass ring 

and a course to steer “bug” on the outside of the compass ring. 
The compass ring and bearing indicators work independently to 

show 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 direction other than up, turn 

toward the arrow until it points up, then continue in that direction. 

  NOTE: You must be moving for the compass to accurately 

update and show your heading. 

The right side of the Compass Page shows user-selectable data 

fields that show additional information during active navigation. For 

definitions of data field settings, refer to 

.

The options menu on the Compass Page allows you to customize 

the Compass Page. Like the Map Page, the Compass Page features 

user-selectable data fields on the right side of the screen. When the 

Compass Page is open, press MENU to open the options menu.
Show Course Pointer/Show Compass—toggles between showing 

the Course Pointer, which shows how far off you are from your 

course and how to get back on course, or showing the compass 

arrow. The Course Pointer is also referred to as a CDI or Course 

Deviation Indicator.
Show/Hide Bug Indicator—toggles between showing and hiding 

the course to steer bug indicator (the purple tick mark on the 

compass ring).
