Trip Planning — The Route Review and Active Route Pages also display trip-planning information for
each leg or the entire route. Available information includes Course, ETA, Fuel (to point), Leg Distance,
Leg Fuel, Leg Time, Sunrise and Sunset (at point location), and Time To (point).
To use the trip planning feature:
1. Highlight the desired route from the Route List and press ENTER to display the Route Review Page.
2. One of nine available planning figures appears to the right of each route waypoint and its distance.
Use the LEFT/RIGHT keys on the ARROW KEYPAD to select the desired item.
3. To enter planning information (from the Route Review Page only), press MENU and select ‘Trip Plan-
ning’ from the options list. Enter the figures for Speed, Fuel Flow, Departure Time, and
Departure Date.
4. Press QUIT to return to the Route Review Page.
NOTE: Fuel flow rates on your unit are measured in “units per hour”. System setting
changes for units of measure (statute, nautical or metric) do not affect the fuel flow mea-
sure. You should enter fuel flow rates based upon available information for your vehicle
(operator’s manual, performance specifications, etc.) and make note of the desired units
of measure (gallons, liters, etc.).
