Distance and Sun Calculations
The distance and sun calculation page will give you
the distance and bearing between any two waypoints or
between your present position and a waypoint. It will
also calculate the sunrise and sunset (in local time) for
a particular date at either your present position or any
stored waypoint.
To perform a distance and sun calculation:
1. Highlight the ‘from’ field and press
F
. Enter the
desired waypoint, and press
F
.
2. Highlight the ‘to’ field and press
F
. Enter the des-
tination waypoint, and press
F

3. The ‘date’ field will become highlighted. Press
F
to enter the date you’ll arrive at your destination, and
press
F
.
If you haven’t marked your present position as a
waypoint or you leave the ‘to’ field blank, the sunrise
and sunset at your present position will be shown.
Message Page
The message page is used to display all messages in
the GPS 126/128. There are two types of messages:
temporary alerts (e.g., approaching a waypoint) and
condition alerts (e.g., WPT memory is full). All mes-
sages are indicated by a flashing on-screen box. After a
temporary alert has been viewed, it is cleared.
Condition alerts are displayed on the message page
until the condition has been resolved.
To view the message page:
