Garmin GPS III GPS Receiver User Manual


 
Many features of the GPS III Pilot are menu driven. Each of the main pages has an
options menu, allowing you to custom tailor the corresponding page to your prefer-
ences and/or select special features which specifically relate to that page.
To display the Map Page Options, press MENU (with the Map Page dis-
played).
The following options are available:
Data Fields Off— allows you to select between a full-screen map display or the
default map display with data window. If the data fields are off, ‘Data Fields On’
will appear as an option instead.
To turn the data fields off (or on), highlight ‘Data Fields Off’ (or ‘Data
Fields On’) and press ENTER.
Change fields— allows you to choose the data displayed on four user-selectable
data fields. There are twenty-eight available data types, including Average (AVG)
Speed, Bearing, Distance, ETA to Destination (DEST), Speed, Time to Destination,
Track and a Trip Odometer. See page 98 for descriptions of navigation terms.
To change a data field:
1. Highlight ‘Change Fields’ and press ENTER.
2. Highlight the data field you wish to change and press ENTER.
3. Select the type of data you want to appear on this field and press ENTER.
Measure Dist— allows you to measure the bearing and distance between any two
points on the map display.
To measure bearing and distance between two points:
1. Highlight ‘Measure Dist’ and press ENTER. An on-screen pointer will appear on the
map display at your present position.
A full-screen map, without the
data fields, is available by
selecting the ‘Data Fields Off’
option.
When using the ‘Measure
Dist’ option, an arrow
appears with an ‘Enter
Reference’ prompt. Point to
the initial reference point and
press ENTER.
