Compass Page
The Compass page guides you to your
destination by displaying a compass and
a bearing pointer.
It also provides navigation data such as
current speed, distance to the next point
on the route, and estimated arrival time.
The electronic compass (Oregon 300,
400t, 400c, and 400i) is similar to
a magnetic compass when you are
stationary or walking. If you maintain
a higher speed, such as traveling in
automobile, the compass uses GPS
signals to determine your direction. To
turn the electronic compass off, see
page
28.
To open the Compass page, touch
Compass.
Hold the compass level when navigating
to ensure maximum accuracy.

indicates your relationship to a course
line leading to the destination. To select
a bearing or course pointer, see
Bearing Pointer
The bearing pointer points to your
destination, regardless of the direction

you are traveling directly toward
your destination. If it points any other
