You can use the watch to take direction readings to determine a direction (north, south, east, west) or to find out your bearing to a destination.
- For information about what you can do to ensure direction readings are accurate, see “Magnetic Declination Correction” (page E-58) and “Digital Compass Precautions” (page E-59).
Correcting Direction Reading Error (2-point Calibration)
Use 2-point calibration to correct for measurement error due to local magnetism or other causes.
Important!
- Keep the watch level during the calibration process.
- Keep the watch away from electrical household appliances and office equipment, cellphones, and other sources of strong magnetism during calibration. Such items can make proper calibration impossible.
