When you are moving and reach a pre-set speed, it uses data from the GPS receiver to maintain your heading. When you stop (after a pre-set time), it again operates like a magnetic compass. The compass ring is especially helpful when using a paper map or chart with your GPSMAP 60CSx for navigation. When the electronic compass is on, a compass icon appears in the status bar. Using the Electronic Compass When you turn the electronic compass off, it stays off until you turn it on again. However, sometimes when you turn the electronic compass on, the GPSMAP 60CSx overrides the compass and uses the GPS receiver to track your heading. In fact, when you are moving at a steady rate, the GPS receiver operates the compass. When stationary, the electronic compass provides you with accurate headings. You can customize the criteria for switching between the electronic compass and the GPS as explained in the Heading Setup section on page 75. GPSMAP 60CSx Owner's Manual 1.
