in use by the compass. When the compass starts up, it will be set to S00. After about a minute, it 
will  indicate  the  number  of  satellites  being  received.  This  number  can  vary  depending  on  the 
strength of the satellite signal.

of the compass is the compass rose. This is an analogue representation of the north 

and south directions. North is a red sphere, South is a white sphere

.

  

 

In the center of this compass rose there is a tip-tilt indicator (oval sphere).
