Garmin GPS 12XL GPS Receiver User Manual


 
Selecting a User-Defined Navigation Page
Once you’ve selected a GOTO destination or acti-
vated a TracBack, MOB, or route, the GPS 12XL will
provide graphic steering guidance to the destination
with one of two navigation pages:
•The
Compass Page
(default) provides a direc-
tional pointer to the destination, with a rotating
compass display to show your direction of travel.
The Compass Page provides better steering guid-
ance for car travel, hiking, or biking, where
straight-line navigation usually is not possible.
•The
Highway Page
provides 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).
This page also features a course deviation indica-
tor (CDI) (see pg. 34). The Highway Page is well-
suited for water or off-road recreation where
straight-line navigation is possible.
Both pages provide a digital display of the bearing
and distance to the destination, and your current speed
and track over the ground. You can switch to either
Navigation Page at any time.
To select either Navigation Page:
1. Press
E
from the existing Navigation Page, and
E
again to change the page.
