Rookie Garmin GPS60 question
I know I asked this a couple years ago somewhere and got a satisfactory answer, but now need the answer again. What is this circle on the screen used for?

Re: Rookie Garmin GPS60 question
Read the last paragraph in the Garmin section about the direction of travel. Now what exactly does it represent?

Always thought it was a bomb from the old game "Metroid".

Re: Rookie Garmin GPS60 question
Like Mr. Bearclaws said, it's called a "heading bug" and it indicates your direction of travel.
Seems to me that you would have to hike for a couple days straight before you would notice
any change on the screen.
I think it's used more on Garmin's aviation gps units. Why it's on the 60 CSx is a mystery.
