Pointer Page
The Pointer Page is best used for navigation when a straight line course can
not be followed. The Pointer Page has User Selectable Data Fields along the top, a
Active Waypoint Field, Compass Ring and a Pointer.
The Compass Ring is a graphic display of your current track. As you change
direction, the Compass Ring will rotate, aligning your track with the vertical line.
As you change direction, the Pointer will always point toward the active waypoint.
When you are going directly toward the active waypoint, the Pointer is aligned
with the vertical line in the Compass Ring. When you arrive at the waypoint, a
message ‘Arriving at Destination’ will be displayed. It is important to note that
the Compass Ring does not act as a true compass. You must be moving for the
Pointer to update and correctly point towards your destination.
