To switch to heading lock—compass mode, press and hold the manual mode button, then press the 2, 1, 2 buttons in sequence. To switch back to heading lock—course mode, press and hold the manual mode button, then press the 2, 1, 1 buttons in sequence. IMPORTANT: The Pinpoint GPS system will remember which heading lock mode was last used, and the next time the heading lock button is pressed, the trolling motor will operate that mode. OPERATING IN HEADING LOCK—COMPASS MODE When heading lock—compass mode is selected, the trolling motor will lock in the trolling motor's compass heading and drive the boat along that heading. The boat will drift with the wind, tide, and current, but the trolling motor will maintain a constant compass heading. The operator can adjust the speed and the heading by using the handheld remote.[/FONT][FONT=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]I'm not sure if mine is too old to have that feature - but I hope it isn't too old. The compass mode is WAY better under many scenarios (slow pitching a shoreline, etc.)[/FONT][FONT=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]I just put up with the xi5's crappy "GPS breadcrumb string" system for years thinking I didn't have a choice to go compass only[/FONT][FONT=Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]basically this is equivalent to the toggling of the N button on the old MinnKota Terrovas[/FONT]- - - Updated - - -<a href="https://www.in-depthoutdoors.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Course-and-Heading-Mode.pdf" target="_blank">https://www.in-depthoutdoors.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Course-and-Heading-Mode.pdf</a></blockquote>
