Using the Course Pointer

The course pointer is most useful when you are navigating to your destination in a straight line, such as when you are navigating on water. It can help you navigate back to the course line when you go off-course to avoid obstacles or hazards.

  1. Press PAGE to scroll to the compass page.
  2. Press MENU.
  3. Select Heading Setup > Go To Line (Pointer) > Course (CDI) to enable the course pointer.
