4.4.2. Locking a bearing
A bearing can be locked to help you follow a selected course, and directional arrows
point towards the locked bearing. Locked bearings are stored in the memory for later
analysis and are available the next time the compass is activated.
The Suunto D9 also provides help for navigating square and triangular patterns, as
well as navigating a return heading. This is made possible by following graphical
symbols in the center of the compass display:
