Navigation Page
Show me the
way!
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. When you are stationary, it works
as a magnetic compass (which can be turned On or Off). When the Compass is on 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 user-defi ned speed, and comes back on when
you have stopped moving after a user-defi ned period of time. Use the Heading Setup Page to
change the user-defi ned speed and time. (See page 40)
One Data Field is available at the bottom of the screen and you can use the UP and DOWN
Buttons to scroll through the menu choices. A list of the fi elds can be found on page 13.
The Bent (Bearing) Pointer arrow alerts you to the upcoming turn while you are navigating
a route. When you get within 15 seconds of the current point, the pointer “bends” to indicate
the direction of the turn to the next point.
