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 in conjunction with your GPSMAP 60CSx 

for navigation. When the electronic compass is on, a 

compass icon   appears in the status bar.

When you manually turn the electronic compass 

off, it stays off until you manually 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. You can customize the criteria for switching 

between the electronic compass and the GPS.

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. A “Hold 

Level” message appears if you are not holding 

the electronic compass correctly, or if it is 

not calibrated. (See the following page for 

calibration instructions.)
