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)
