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 (bearing) relative to the course over
ground.
The Compass Ring works as an Electronic Compass (which can be turned On or
Off) functions as a magnetic compass when you are stationary. Or, when the Compass is
in the On mode and you are moving, the heading is controlled by the GPS receiver. The
Compass switches to the GPS receiver when your rate of travel reaches a pre-set speed,
and comes back on when you have stopped moving after a pre-set period of time. Use
the Heading Setup Page to change the pre-set time.
The Status Window at the top of the page shows you the name of your destination,
the distance, and the time to go. Two Data Fields are provided, and can be programmed
to display a variety of navigation data.
The Bent (Bearing) Pointer arrow alerts you to the upcoming turn while you are
navigating a route. When you get within 15 seconds ETA of the current point, the
pointer “bends” to indicate the direction of the turn to the next point while still showing
the direction to the current point.
When you are not on an active Goto, Track or Route (in other words: not traveling
to a recorded destination), the window at the top of the page displays the status of the
GPS Receiver and the approximate accuracy of your current position. The Compass Ring
displays your heading while you are moving, but the data fi elds at the bottom of the
page will not display any destination related data, such as Estimated Time of Arrival.
