  3. Off Course - the Distance left or right you are from the original course (path of travel).
  4. To Course - the Compass direction you must travel to get back to original course.
  5. Current Destination - the Next waypoint on your route.
  6. Current Distance - the Remaining distance to your next waypoint.
  7. Current ETA - the Estimate time of day you will arrive at your next waypoint.
