The Electronic Compass

When you manually turn the Compass Off, it stays off until you

manually turn it On again. Sometimes, however, when you turn the

Compass On, the GPSmap 76CS overrides the Compass and uses the GPS

receiver to track your heading. The criteria for switching between the

Compass and the GPS can be customized. (See below.)

Turning the Electronic Compass On and Off:

1. Press and hold the PAGE button to turn the Electronic Compass

On or Off. A Compass Icon displays in the Status Bar at the top

of the display when the Compass is On. When not in use, turn

the Electronic Compass off to conserve batteries. When the

Compass is Off, the unit uses the GPS receiver for navigation.

2. Hold the GPSmap 76CS level to get an accurate Electronic

Compass reading. A “Hold Level” reminder displays if you are

not holding the Compass correctly, or if it is not calibrated. (See

the following page for calibration instructions.)

Setting the Speed and Time for Compass Auto On/Off:

1. From the Main Menu, highlight Setup and press ENTER to

display the Setup Menu.

2. Highlight the Heading icon and press ENTER to display the

Heading Setup Page.

3. Highlight the “Switch to compass heading when below...”

ﬁ eld, press ENTER and use the numeric keypad to enter the

desired speed. Highlight the “...for more than...” ﬁ eld and press

ENTER to set the time delay from the time options list.
