Calibrating the Compass

Before you can calibrate the electronic compass, you must be

outdoors, away from objects that influence magnetic fields, such

as cars, buildings, or overhead power lines.

also help you avoid hazards near the course, such as shoals or

submerged rocks.

To enable the course pointer, from the compass, select MENU >

Setup Heading > Go To Line/Pointer > Course (CDI).

The course pointer indicates your relationship to the course

line leading to the destination. The course deviation indicator

the course deviation indicator, which tell you how far off course

you are.
