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.

To enable the course pointer, from the app drawer, select Setup > Heading > Go To Line (Pointer) > Course (CDI).
