The compass ring is an electronic compass that 

functions like a magnetic compass when you are 

stationary. When you are moving and reach a pre-set 

speed, it uses data from the GPS receiver to maintain 

your heading. When you stop (after a pre-set time), it 

again operates like a magnetic compass. The compass 

ring is especially helpful when using a paper map 

or chart with your GPSMAP 60CSx for navigation. 

When the electronic compass is on, a compass icon 

 appears in the status bar.

When you turn the electronic compass off, it stays 

off until you turn it on again. However, sometimes 

when you turn the electronic compass on, the 

GPSMAP 60CSx overrides the compass and uses the 

GPS receiver to track your heading. In fact, when 

you are moving at a steady rate, the GPS receiver 

operates the compass. When stationary, the electronic 

compass provides you with accurate headings. You 

can customize the criteria for switching between the 

electronic compass and the GPS as explained in the 

Heading Setup section on 

.

1.  Press and hold the 

PAGE key to turn the 

electronic compass on or off. The Compass 

Icon 

 

appears in the status bar when the 

electronic compass is on. When you are not 

using the electronic compass, turn it off to 

conserve batteries. When it is turned off, the 

unit uses the GPS receiver for navigation.

2.  Hold the GPSMAP 60CSx level to get an 

accurate electronic compass reading. (You 

obtain the most accurate reading if the 

compass has been recently calibrated. See the
