You are correct babj and Boyd. You have to be moving for it to work. But when I hunt Geocaches, I select the cacch i want to find the go back to my compass, start walking and follow the compass needle. It also tells me how many feet I am from the catch and just keep following the compass needle as the distance closes in until I am right on top of the cacth. But when I select a way point, then go to compass it trys to direct me to the nearest geocatch instead of the waypoint. I have to stay on the waypoint page and start walking and it show where the waypoint is, so you need to keep watching to make sure you are still getting closer. Just much easier to be able to use the compass point like I use to find the caches.
