Garmin GPS-45XL GPS Receiver User Manual


 
Selecting a User-Defined Navigation Page
Once you’ve selected a GOTO destination or activated a
MOB or route, the GPS 45XL will provide graphic steering
guidance to the destination with one of two navigation
pages:
The highway page (the default navigation page) pro-
vides a graphic highway that shows your movement
relative to the desired course, with an emphasis on
your crosstrack error,(the distance and direction you
are off course.) The highway page is well suited for
boating and other activities with higher speeds and
straight line courses to a destination.
The compass page provides a directional pointer to the
destination, with a rotating compass graphic to display
your direction of travel. The compass page is ideal for
activities like trawling or entering a harbor, and pro-
vides better steering guidance for slow-speed (e.g.,
walking) travel with many directional changes.
Both pages provide a digital display of the bearing and
distance to the destination, your current speed and track
over the ground, and course deviation indicator (CDI). You
can select the desired navigation page at any time.

1. Press

. An on-screen box will appear, with the navi-
gation page not currently in use highlighted as the default.
