Digital compass

Galileo has a tilt-compensated digital
compass which can be used at almost
any inclination. The compass can be called
up at any moment during the dive and it
can also be used on the surface. This
menu allows you to use the compass on
the surface, change the auto-off time and
assign a declination to compensate for the
deviation between true North and magnetic
North.
2.4.1 Using the compass on the
surface
Upon selecting the uSe coMPaSS
menu, the screen will display the compass,
the time of day and the surface interval, if
applicable. The buttons are now labeled
"Set" and "eXit".
2. Menus, settings and functions
With the middle button ("Set"), you can
set a reference bearing. This is useful for
instance if you are on a boat and there is a
landmark on the shore that you can use for
alignment to reach a specific spot on that
dive site. Press "Set" to set the bearing,
and the display shows the message Set
BearinG SucceSSfuL for 2 seconds.
A dot will appear to indicate the set bearing.
Once underwater, align the dot with the
arrow and start swimming in that direction.
If you press "Set" again, the new bearing
will override the one in memory. If you
press and hold "Set" you erase the
bearing. When you set a bearing, Galileo
automatically marks the points at 90, 120
and 180 degrees as an aid in navigation.
See section 3.4.1 for more information on
using this feature.
The right button ("eXit") returns to the
main digital compass menu.

2.4.2 Setting the auto-off time

(default: 15 seconds)
While diving, the compass layout replaces
the main dive computer screen configuration
when the right button is pressed and
held. When in compass mode, Galileo
uses more battery energy than normal, so
it is desirable to have the computer switch
back to the regular configuration after a
certain time interval. This menu allows you
to set this time interval between 5, 10, 15,
