The green needle displays bearing to which location?

Explanation:
The green bearing needle points toward the active target in the flight management system—the selected FMS waypoint. It gives you the direction to fly to reach that waypoint, guiding your path based on the FMS guidance. It isn’t bearing to a TACAN station, nor to your own position, and while it relates to your route, the needle’s purpose is specifically to indicate the direction to the currently selected waypoint.
