Using the Compass
The Compass page guides you to
your destination by displaying a
compass and a bearing pointer.
It also provides navigation data such
as current speed, distance to the next
point on the route, and estimated
arrival time.
The electronic compass is similar
to a magnetic compass when you
are stationary or walking. If you
maintain a higher speed, such
as traveling in an automobile,
the compass uses GPS signals to
determine your direction. To turn the
electronic compass off, see page 28.
To open the Compass page:
Touch Compass.
Calibrating the Compass
NoTe: The electronic compass is
unavailable with the Dakota 10.
Calibrate the electronic compass
outdoors. Do not stand near objects
that influence magnetic fields, such
as cars, buildings, or overhead power
lines.
Calibrate the compass after moving
long distances, experiencing
temperature changes greater than
20°F (11°C), or changing the
batteries.0 Dakota Series Owner’s Manual
Basic Navigation
To calibrate the electronic
compass:
1. Touch Setup > Heading > Press
To Begin Compass Calibration.
OR
From the Compass page, touch
and hold the middle of the
compass.
2. Touch Start and follow the on-
screen directions.
If “Calibration Failed” appears,
touch oK , and repeat the process.
Bearing and Course
Pointers
The Dakota can use either a bearing
or course pointer on the compass.
The bearing pointer indicates the
direction to your destination, and
the course pointer indicates your
relationship to a course line leading
to the destination. To select a bearing
or course pointer, see page 27.
Bearing Pointer
Bearing to

Direction you
are currently
travelingDakota Series Owner’s Manual Basic Navigation
The bearing pointer points to
your destination, regardless of the
direction you are moving. If the
bearing pointer points toward the
top of the compass, you are traveling
directly toward your destination. If
it points any other direction, turn
toward that direction until the arrow
is pointing toward the top of the
compass.

Scale
Course deviation
indicator
The course pointer provides an
indication of drift (right or left)
according to the scale shown at the
edge of the compass ring. The scale
refers to the distance between dots
on the course deviation indicator.
The course line to your destination is
based on your original starting point.
Move back to the “course line to
destination” to compensate for
deviation and to get back on course.
This 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.
