Using the Digital Compass
You can use the Digital Compass Mode to determine the direction of north, and to check your bearing to a
destination.
• For information about what you can do to improve digital compass reading accuracy, see “Calibrating
the Bearing Sensor” (page E-23) and “Digital Compass Precautions” (page E-31).
To perform a digital compass operation
1. Place the watch on a fl
(in relation to the horizon).
2. Point the 12 o’clock position of the watch in the direction you want to check.

• The margin of error for the angle value and the direction indicator is ±15 degrees while the watch is
horizontal (in relation to the horizon). If the indicated direction is northwest (
NW
) and 315 degrees, for
example, the actual direction can be anywhere from 300 to 330 degrees.
• Note that performing a digital compass operation while the watch is not horizontal (in relation to the
horizon) can result in large error.
• You can calibrate the bearing sensor if you suspect the direction reading is incorrect.

• Any ongoing digital compass operation is paused temporarily while the watch is performing an alert

• See “Digital Compass Precautions” (page E-31) for important information about taking direction readings.
• The direction indicated by the Digital Compass is magnetic north.

For details, see “Magnetic Declination Correction” below, “To perform magnetic declination correction”
(page E-26), and “Magnetic North and True North” (page E-31).
Calibrating the Bearing Sensor
You should calibrate the bearing sensor whenever you feel that the direction readings being produced by
the watch are off. You can use any one of two different bearing sensor calibration methods: bidirectional
calibration or magnetic declination correction.
•
Bidirectional Calibration
Bidirectional calibration calibrates the bearing sensor in relation to magnetic north. Use bidirectional
calibration when you want to take readings within an area exposed to magnetic force. This type of
calibration should be used if the watch becomes magnetized for any reason.
Important!
• To ensure correct direction readings by the digital compass, be sure to perform bidirectional calibration
before using it. The digital compass may produce incorrect direction readings if you do not perform
bidirectional calibration.
