Let's say I set the heading to West. What will the GPS do when I get to the corner and turn left? What if I come out of the subway and turn East by mistake?

Hi,
Question 1.
Press O, then move down to "set GPS heading averaging and press 
enter.

Type A for automatic.
Note: make sure you are not in virtual mode when moving around
outside.



Question 2.
This is taken directly from the manual



"Force GPS heading: this option allows you to tell the system the
heading you will be traveling. For example you exit a subway and
always head west. The GPS will not know the direction of travel 
until
you move for a time. To change your initial heading press ENTER 
with

H. You are then presented with a menu with the following options:
North, Northeast, East, Southeast, South, Southwest, West, 
Northwest,
by degrees and unknown heading. Selecting any of the Compass 
headings
sets your heading to the desired direction. If you wish to set 
the
heading to a specific degree I.e. 121, select the "by degrees" 
option.
Selecting unknown forces your heading to be in an unknown state. 
As

you move your heading will be updated by the GPS.






Hope this helps.



Chris

Afew days ago I wrote about the heading unknown but no one reply.
I have another question. I copy the quote from the Qucik 
Reference,
"Force GPS Heading: ENTER with H" What does it mean? Will it 
turn the

heading enable?
