Taking Direction Readings

The watch has a magnetic sensor that makes it possible to take digital compass readings. You can use the digital compass to find the direction to a specific objective and to determine your current position.

See “Magnetic North and True North” (page E-40) for information about the two types of north. For information about maximizing digital compass accuracy, see “Calibrating Direction Readings” (page E-34) and “Digital Compass Precautions” (page E-40).
