As youve seen, the GPSMAP 180s main pages provide vital status, position,
navigation and map information. The last page well cover in the tour is the main
menu page, which provides access to the GPSMAP 180s waypoint, route and
planning functions, as well as various operational and navigation setup features.
The Main Menu is available from any page, and is accessed through the
O
key.
To access the Main Menu Page:
1. Press the
O
key twice.
The Main Menu Pages 11 submenus are divided into categories by function.
You can select a particular submenu by simply highlighting the desired option
and pressing
T
. To get a feel for how the Main Menu Page works, lets clear out
the track log weve created during our simulated tour. This will ensure that you
have a clean slate once you start navigating in your home waters.
To select the track submenu:
1. Highlight the Track menu option and press
T
.
The track log page allows you to specify whether to record a track plot and
define how it is recorded. It also provides both an indicator of the total memory
used and the individual functions to clear the track log and start a TracBack route.
To delete the track log:
1. Highlight the Delete Track option and press
T
. A confirmation page will appear.
2. Highlight the Yes prompt and press
T
to confirm.
