Compass Page
The GPSMAP 182/182C/232 features two different navigation pages: Compass and Highway.
Whenever a NAV, Follow Track (TracBack) or Follow Route have been activated, the GPSMAP
182/182C/232’s Compass Page will guide you to your destination with digital readouts and a graphic
compass display, which includes a bearing pointer. Use this page (instead of the Highway Page) when
travelling at slower speeds, when making frequent directional changes, or where straight-line naviga-
tion is not possible due to obstructions or terrain. The middle of the page features a rotating ‘compass
ring’ that shows your course over ground (track) while you’re moving. Your present course over ground
is indicated at the top of the compass ring. A bearing pointer arrow, in the middle of the compass ring,
and a bearing ‘bug’ indicator on the outside of the compass ring, indicate the direction of the destina-
tion (bearing) relative to the course over ground. The compass ring and pointer arrow work indepen-
dently to show—at a glance—the direction of your movement and the direction to your destination.
For instance, if the arrow points up, you are going directly to the waypoint. If the arrow points any
direction other than up, turn toward the arrow until it points up, then continue in that direction.
The bearing pointer, bearing bug and/or compass ring may point in various directions
when you are stationary or at very low speeds. Once you start moving, the pointer
will be correct.
The GPSMAP 182/182C/232’s Compass Page features a menu page that provides access to layout
and data fi eld options. The data window, located at the top of the page, provides a user-selectable
layout of various types of useful data. Each data fi eld may be confi gured to display several data options.
The data window layout may also be changed to display more/less data fi elds and change the actual
size of the data displayed.
To display the Compass Page options:
1. Press MENU.
To select a menu option:
1. Use the ARROW KEYPAD to highlight the desired option and press ENTER/MARK. For detailed
instructions on changing the data fi elds and layout of the Compass Page, see pages 22-23.
