Default Navigation question

Dear Hoges,

I am somewhat unclear as to what you are asking but...

Your GPS will tell you the course from your position to your waypoint so if
the waypoint is the compass rose center you would plot it as the reciprocal
of the course from the compass rose to your position. Easier still is to
continue the line from your position through the center of the rose and out
the other side to read the course from you to the rose. Do not forget to
adjust your gps to give you true bearings or to read the magnetic circle of
the rose. True to true or mag to mag.
