Projecting a Waypoint from Your Current Location
You can save a new waypoint by projecting the distance from your current location.
For example, if you would like to navigate to a location you observe on the other side of a river or stream,
you can project a waypoint from your current location to the observed location, and then navigate to the new
location after you cross the river or stream.

Calibrating the Compass
Before you can calibrate the electronic compass, you must be outdoors, away from objects that influence
magnetic fields, such as cars, buildings, or overhead power lines.

distances or experiencing temperature changes.
