The MAP Page

The map page presents a picture of where you are going. You, represented by the flashing square,

proceed toward your destination and leave a trail, or track log. As you travel, you can make use of

waypoints (specific geographic or man-made objects) that can mark your route as you travel. These

waypoints also make it easy for you to retrace your steps, establishing a route back to your starting

point.

To better appreciate where you are and the direction you are headed in, the map page includes

several other useful features to guide your way:

1. A Compass indicator.

2. A map scale is displayed indicating the relative distance in user-selected units; just toggle the

Up/Down wheel key to adjust the map scale for a convenient display.

3. A status bar appears at the bottom of the display signifying the amount of memory used

between 0 and 100%.

4. Two information bars at the top of the display automatically scroll through the following

parameters, changing the data presentation about every 3 seconds:

a. Present Position (Longitude and Latitude)

b. Altitude

c. Current Date and Time

d. Heading (HDG)

e. Speed of travel

f. Overall Trip (TRIP) time

g. Odometer (ODO)

h. Bearing (BRG)

i. Distance (DST) traveled to target (waypoint or endpoint)

5. When the Enter switch is pressed, a sub-menu appears in the center of this screen, and

provides several options related to your trip; these options can be highlighted using the

Up/Down wheel key; then press Enter to change the highlighted data:

1 2 ... 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 ... 51 52
