down to it) and press OK to confirm you wish to navigate towards that
area, the ONIX will begin to point you towards that area. (Note that you

Alternatively, instead of pressing OK, you can press the RIGHT key from
the name on the list and go to the “eyeball” icon, then press OK to just
view the photo or topo without starting navigation. To exit this “view

in the Map Detail list. On the NAV Page, it will say “Compass Options” (see
details in the NAV Page section)

To measure the distance between any two points, use the same process,
except that after a selection has been made, press “Measure From”, then
repeat the process to select a second point to “Measure To”. To add more
points, select an additional location from the map or the list and choose
