Using the Marine Timer
The Marine Timer, specifically designed for sail boat racing, allows
you to easily count up or down by specified time increments. As
is common in sail boat racing, there is often a 5-minute warning
countdown, followed by a 4-minute preparation countdown, and
finally a one-minute final countdown. Then during the race, mariners
may want to count up to keep track of their time. By default, all of
these different count downs and count ups can easily be performed
with the GPSMAP 276C by pressing a few buttons.
You must change the Compass page layout to use the Marine Timer.

1. Press PAGE repeatedly until the Compass page is displayed.

Marine Timer is displayed in the lower right corner.
To use the Marine Timer:

want to count. Five (5) minutes is the default.
