apspiderboy Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 When I use navigation on it and switch to the compass no red arrow shows up and it doesn't show the distance to the waypoint or anything else. It was just working fine the other day. How can I fix this? Quote Link to comment

+Viajero Perdido Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 It won't show the arrow until you have a satellite lock. Quote Link to comment

Colorado Bear Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Do you have a waypoint selected to navigate to? Select a geocache to go to and then see if you have the red arrow. I suspect the red arrow you are referring to on the compass page is actually the bearing pointer. Check you owners manual for the compass and course pointers. Jay Colorado Bear Quote Link to comment
+luvvinbird Posted July 5, 2015 Share Posted July 5, 2015 (edited) Have you tried entering the coordinates manually as a waypoint and then navigate to it? I used my 60CSx this morning to do just that. To review: Find. Waypoints. W/P # or name. Go To. Follow Road/Off Road. At that point, I have my map page appear but I page back to my Compass page. My Compass page has "Time of day" "Distance to Next" "Sunset"and "Accuracy". After doing the above, the Red Arrow points to the waypoint and the numbers in "Distance to Next" count down as I near my target. I apologize if you've gone over this procedure with no luck at which point I might be thinking about doing a hard re-set. Edited July 5, 2015 by luvvinbird Quote Link to comment
apspiderboy Posted July 6, 2015 Author Share Posted July 6, 2015 Still nothings working. And now when I navigate with the map it doesn't work with follow road. It only works if I select off road. Quote Link to comment
+BBQ'n Dadd'n Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Check and make sure your Micro SD card is locked (sliding door under the batteries). If it isn't then you will lose your pointer as well. Might have happened when changing batteries or if the unit was dropped one too many times. Quote Link to comment
+CuzGolfIsBoring Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 I had the same problem. After reading this thread I removed the SD card entirely and the pointer/ distance returned. Thanks for the solution. Quote Link to comment
