Calibrating the Compass

NOTICE

Calibrate the electronic compass outdoors. To improve heading 

accuracy, do not stand near objects that influence magnetic 

fields, such as vehicles, buildings, and overhead power lines.

Your device was already calibrated at the factory, and the 

device uses automatic calibration by default. If you experience 

irregular compass behavior, for example, after moving long 

distances or after extreme temperature changes, you can 

manually calibrate the compass.
Select Compass >   > Calibrate Compass > Start.
Follow the on-screen instructions.
Course Pointer
The course pointer is most useful if you are navigating on water 

or where there are no major obstacles in your path. It also helps 

you avoid hazards to either side of the course, such as shoals 

or submerged rocks.
To enable the course pointer, from the compass, select Setup > 

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

The course pointer 

À

 indicates your relationship to the course 

line leading to the destination. The course deviation indicator 

(CDI) 

Â

 provides the indication of drift (right or left) from the 

course. The scale 

Á

 refers to the distance between dots 

Ã

 on 

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

you are.
