Using the Compass Page
The Compass Page provides better steering guid-
ance than the Highway Page for travel at slower speeds
(e.g., walking), travel with many directional changes
and when it’s not necessary to follow an exact course.
The bearing (BRG) and distance (DST) to the way-
point are displayed at the top of the page, below the
destination waypoint name. The distance displayed is
the straight-line distance from your present position to
the destination waypoint. The bearing indicates the
exact compass heading from you to the destination.
The middle of the page features a rotating “compass
ring” that shows your course over ground while you
are moving (track indicated at the top of the ring), with
a pointer arrow to the destination displayed in the cen-
ter. The arrow shows the direction of your destination
from the direction you are moving. For instance, if the
arrow points up, you are going directly to the way-
point. If the arrow points any direction (left, right,
down, etc.), turn toward the arrow until it points up.
Then continue in that direction.
The bottom of the page shows your track (TRK),
speed (SPD), and a user-selectable field for ETE, ETA,
CTS, XTK, VMG, or TRN.
When you are one minute away from your destina-
tion (based on your current speed and track over
ground), the GPS 12XL will alert you with a flashing
on-screen message box.
