the actual compass bearing (direction you are facing) at the bottom of the display.
Figure 10
As you rotate your body, a single flashing arrow and
additional arrowheads are displayed in the compass
rose (Fig. 10). The more you turn away from the stored
heading the more arrowheads are displayed.
To face original stored heading (90º - Figure 10) rotate
your body in the direction of the arrowheads, until only
one arrow is left and the compass bearing, at the bot-
tom, matches the stored heading in the center. Now
you are on course and can begin traveling.
If Ice Lake is not in view, sight a landmark along the stored heading (90º) and walk to
the landmark (Fig. 11). At the landmark determine another landmark using the same
stored heading. Repeat until the destination is in view.
To store another bearing follow the steps
in section 3.1, above.
