Basic Navigation
Bearing and Course
Pointers
The Oregon can use either a bearing
or course pointer on the compass.
The bearing pointer indicates the
direction to your destination, and
the course pointer indicates your
relationship to a course line leading
to the destination. To select a bearing
or course pointer, see page 31.
Bearing Pointer
Bearing to
destination
Direction you
are currently
traveling
The bearing pointer points to
your destination, regardless of the
direction you are moving. If the
bearing pointer points toward the
top of the compass, you are traveling
directly toward your destination. If
it points any other direction, turn
toward that direction until the arrow
is pointing toward the top of the
compass.
