Course Pointer
The course pointer is most useful when you are navigating on
water or where there are no major obstacles in your path. It can
also help you avoid hazards near the course, such as shoals or
submerged rocks.
To enable the course pointer, from the compass, select MENU >
Heading Setup > Go To Line (Pointer) > Course (CDI).
The course pointer indicates your relationship to the course
line leading to the destination. The course deviation indicator
(CDI) provides the indication of drift (right or left) from the
course. The scale refers to the distance between dots on
the course deviation indicator, which tell you how far off course
you are.
