Using Bearing Memory
Bearing Memory lets you temporarily store and display a direction
reading so you can use it as a reference as you take subsequent digital
compass readings. Accessing the Bearing Memory data displays the
direction angle for the stored reading in the lower display, along with an
indicator in Digital Meter A (page E-27) that shows the stored bearing.
If you perform a digital compass operation while Bearing Memory data is
displayed, the direction angle of the current digital compass reading (as
read from the 12 o’clock position of the watch) will be shown in the lower
display and the stored Bearing Memory direction reading will be shown in
the upper display.

Using the Digital Compass While Mountain Climbing or Hiking
This section shows three actual examples of how to use the watch’s digital compass.
• Setting a map and fi
Having an idea of your current location is important when mountain climbing or hiking. To do this, you
need to “set the map”, which means to align the map so the directions indicated on it are aligned with
the actual directions of your location. Basically what you are doing is aligning north on the map with
north as indicated by the watch.
• Finding the bearing to an objective
• Determining the direction angle to an objective on a map and heading in that direction
