GPSMAP 60CSx Owner’s Manual 53M AIN PAGES >Using the Course Pointer or BearingPointerThe Bearing Pointer and Course Pointer workindependently of each other. One indicates thedirection to your destination, and the other indicatesyour relationship to a course line leading to thedestination.If the Bearing Pointer arrow is pointing straightup, for example, you are going directly to yourdestination. If it points any direction other than up,turn toward that direction until the arrow is pointingup and then continue in that direction. The BearingPointer always points to the destination, regardlessof the direction you are moving. Most efficient if youmust move around obstacles (lakes, private property,etc.) in your path.The Bearing Pointer always indicates the directionto your destination from your current location.If you are using the Course Pointer option, and youdrift away from the line of travel from your originallocation to your destination, the Course DeviationIndicator (arrow with horizontal dotted line) providesgraphic indication of drift (right or left) accordingto the scale shown at the edge of the compass ring.Move to the right or left to get back on course.Most efficient if you are navigating on water orwhere there are no major obstacles in your path.
