The Marcum Quest/Mission/VS625SD/VS825SD all display relative direction by having an Arrow move around the edges of the screen in all 4 directions, the Recon+ model simply displays direction abbreviations (N,S,E,W,NE,NS ect)

  the 800 does not show direction. Vexilar did make one but I forgot the model number. it also showed depth. I believe they discontinued it and now only offer the fish scout 800. call their customer service and ask.
