Digital Compass

A built-in bearing sensor detects magnetic north and indicates one of 16 directions on the display. Direction readings are performed in the Digital Compass Mode.

You can store a direction reading in Bearing Memory and display that reading as you take subsequent readings.

•For more information about Bearing Memory, see page E-46.

•You can calibrate the bearing sensor (page E-39) if you suspect the direction reading is incorrect.

•See “Using the Digital Compass While Mountain Climbing or Hiking” (page E-48) for some real-life examples of how to use this feature.
