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. From the main menu, select Tracking, and press Up arrow or Down arrow to scroll to the compass page.
  2. Press OK to open the options menu.
  3. Select Compass Settings > Pointer > Course (CDI) to enable the course pointer.
