Map Page
The Map Page acts as a window. It allows you to
view your position, the “path” you have traveled over,
and nearby waypoints.
A diamond icon in the center of the screen repre-
sents your current position. As you move, you will see a
thin line called a track log appear along the path you
have just covered. Names of stored waypoints and
waypoint symbols can also be shown on the map.
The bottom corners of the screen always display
your current track and speed. When going to a way-
point, highlighting an on-screen waypoint, or using the
panning target crosshair, the corresponding distance
and bearing are shown at the top corners of the screen.
Navigation Page
A navigation page gives you steering guidance when
going to a waypoint. The GPS 126/128 has two naviga-
tion page choices: the Highway Page and the Compass
Page. The Highway Page is the default and will be
briefly explained here. The Compass Page is covered on
page 36.
The Highway Page uses a graphic highway to show
your movement in relation to your desired course. The
upper section shows bearing and distance to the way-
point and your current track and speed. The middle
portion contains the actual highway. The highway indi-
cates the crosstrack error, or distance and direction,
your are off-course from your waypoint. Always turn in
the direction the highway is pointing. For example, if
the highway points straight up, no turn is needed. If the
highway points right, you need to turn right until the
highway points straight up. The pointer just below the
CDI scale always points to your selected waypoint, rela-
tive to the direction you are moving. The remainder of
the page contains two user-selectable fields.
Menu Page
The last primary page is the Menu Page. The Menu
Page gives you access to the GPS 126/128’s waypoint
management, route, and setup features through a list of
submenus. The Menu Page is covered on page 43.

plotter and gives you a

rounding waypoints.
