Compass Page
Whenever a ‘Go To’, ‘Navigate Track’ (TracBack) or ‘Navigate Route’ have been activated, the
GPSMAP 176’s Compass Page will guide you to your destination with digital readouts and a graphic
compass display, which includes a bearing pointer. Use this page (instead of the Highway Page) when
travelling at slower speeds, when making frequent directional changes, or where straight-line navigation
is not possible due to obstructions or terrain.
The middle of the page features a rotating ‘compass ring’ that shows your course over ground (track)
while you’re moving. Your present course over ground is indicated at the top of the compass ring. A
bearing pointer, in the middle of the compass ring, indicates the direction of the destination (bearing)
relative to the course over ground. The compass ring and pointer arrow work independently to show,
at a glance, the direction of your movement and the direction to your destination. For instance, if the
arrow points up, you are going directly to the waypoint. If the arrow points any direction other than
up, turn toward the arrow until it points up, then continue in that direction.
