Compass?

Is there a compass if you don't have the nav package?

By Nav package I assume you mean command.

The standard Garmin navigation does have a compass.

Yes, the Command system. We don't have that and I was expecting to have the compass digitally in the rear view mirror, but don't. Didn't know if it was in either of the screens within the car.

If you have multimedia, you can add compass in the settings.

How do you mean? Getting a compass from a phone app?

If you have a nav multimedia command, you can program the screen to show the compass.

Thanks, but my original question was whether a compass was available for those who don't have nav.
