Navigation Page - Overview
The Navigation Page provides active guidance with a
rotating compass ring that shows your course over ground
(track) while you’re moving and a bearing pointer to
indicate the current direction to your destination (bear-
ing) relative to the course over ground.
The Compass Ring and Bearing Pointer work inde-
pendently of the direction of your movement and the
direction to your destination. For example: if the arrow
is pointing straight up, you are going directly to your
destination. If it points any direction other than up, turn
toward the arrow until it points up and then continue
in that direction. If you are using the ‘Course Pointer’
option instead and you drift away from the line of travel
to your destination the Course Deviation Indicator (CDI),
provides graphic indication of drift (right or left) and
displays the distance off course. The compass ring is
accurate only when you are moving.
The Navigation Page also displays a ‘Waypoint’ fi eld
above the compass or highway with the name of the next
waypoint on your route or of your fi nal destination. The map
coordinates for that item as shown just below the name.
An on-screen button at the top of the page displays the
Options Menu for this page. Options include: ‘Stop
Navigation’, ‘Bearing Pointer’, ‘Course Pointer’, ‘Big Num-
bers’, and ‘Restore Defaults’.
Big Numbers’ converts infor-
mation in the data fi elds to display in a large text format
while reducing the size of the compass ring.
At the bottom of the page are two data fi elds that are user
programmable with a choice of different data options:
Bearing Final ETA
Course Final ETE
Off Course Heading
To Course Speed
Current Destination Sunrise
Current Distance Sunset
Current ETA Time of Day
