Compass Mode
Road maps generally do not have magnetic declination values listed,
so use the magnetic declination chart, for your location. If using a
United States Geological Survey 7.5 minute topographic map, mag-
netic declination is displayed in the legend (Fig. 7).
To access the Calibration setting in Compass Mode, hold ENT.
Then, press ADV to access the Declination setting. "dEC" flashes
waiting for a decision.
You have three options.
a) Press ENT to enter the Declination setting.
b) Press ADV to advance to Calibration setting (section 2.1-1).
c) Hold ENT to escape back to Compass Mode.
Press ENT to enter Declination setting. The first time you enter, "W" flashes waiting
for you to change, or enter a value (Fig. 8).
1. Press ADV to scroll through values (W to E,or 1 to 2 to 3...).
2. Press ENT to save the value and move cursor to the
next digit.
3. After setting the last digit, press ENT to exit back to
Compass Mode.
The declination value will flash for three seconds before NOMAD returns to the
Compass Mode. The declination icon will be displayed in all three modes. Now, the
compass bearing is adjusted for magnetic declination and is based on True North,
same as the map.
In Compass Mode, turn declination adjustment on or off by holding ADV.
To use the compass rotate your body and hold com-
pass level (center bubble in round level). View the
bearing or direction you are facing at the bottom of
the display with cardinal headings in the center (N,
NNE, NE,...). The arrow on the compass rose
always points at north.
Figure 9 shows that you are facing a compass bear-
ing of 90 degrees East.
