Course Pointer
The course pointer is most useful when you are navigating to
your destination in a straight line, such as when you are
navigating on water. It can help you navigate back to the course
line when you go off-course to avoid obstacles or hazards.
To enable the course pointer, from the compass, select >
Heading Setup > Go To Line (Pointer) > Course (CDI).
Course line pointer. Indicates the direction of the desired course
line from your starting point to your next waypoint.
Course deviation indicator (CDI). Indicates the location of the
desired course line in relation to your location. If the CDI is aligned
with the course line pointer, you are on course.
Course deviation distance. The dots indicate your distance off
course. The distance represented by each dot is indicated by the
scale in the upper-right corner.
To-and-from indicator. Indicates whether you are headed to or from
the next waypoint.

Barometer Mode: Variable Elevation allows the barometer to
measure changes in elevation while you are moving. Fixed
Elevation assumes the device is stationary at a fixed
elevation, so the barometric pressure should only change
due to weather.
Pressure Trending: Sets how the device records pressure
data. Save Always records all pressure data, which can be
helpful when you are watching for pressure fronts.
