Position Menu
The Position Menu allows you to set your own coordinate system,
change your map datum or even set your local time.
Compass Page
This Page has a compass rose. It shows your facing direction and the
direction to a selected destination. The navigation screen looks like the
one in the following image when you're not navigating to a waypoint or
other destination. No graphic course information is displayed. Your
facing direction is shown by an arrow on the edge of the compass rose.
You can choose how to display the Compass's orientation. The options
are "North Up," "Heading Up," and "Bearing Up."
With North Up, North the unit always places North at top of the screen.
As you turn and change your facing direction (your heading), the heading
indicator arrow will move along the edge of the compass rose.
When using Heading Up, the unit keeps your heading indicator arrow
at the top of the screen, so no matter which was you turn, the arrow
stays up, but the compass rotates under it to tell your facing.
When you're navigating to a waypoint or any other destination, you can
turn on Bearing Up, which keeps the direction to your destination at the
top of the screen while your heading indicator swings around the compass
rose. That way, all you have to do to navigate to your destination is keep
turning so that your arrow points closer and closer to the top of the screen.
