Circle will be displayed.
Heading Line —
If the Heading line is ‘On’, a line showing your current
heading will be projected on the map from the current location. The Heading
line is a thin black line.
Lock to Roads —
If ‘Lock to Roads’ is ‘On’, the unit will try to match your
location to a road.
Pointer Page
The Pointer Page is best used for navigation when a straight line course can
not be followed. The Pointer Page has User Selectable Data Fields along the top, a
Status Bar, Compass Ring and a Pointer.
The Compass Ring is a graphic display of your current track. As you change
direction, the Compass Ring will rotate, aligning your track with the vertical
line. As you change direction+, the Pointer will always point toward the active
waypoint. When you are going directly toward the active waypoint, the Pointer
is aligned with the vertical line in the Compass Ring. When you arrive at the
waypoint, a message ‘Arriving at Destination’ will be displayed. It is important to
note that the Compass Ring does not act as a true compass. You must be moving
for the Pointer to update and correctly point towards your destination.
