The GPSMAP’s point-to-point planning feature lets you calculate the desired
track, trip distance, fuel usage, ETE and ETA between any two waypoints or
your present position and a stored waypoint. The planning mode will also pro-
vide sunrise and sunset data at your destination on the specified arrival date.
To use the point-to-point planning mode:
1. Highlight the Point-to-Point Planning option and press the C key.
2. Enter a departure and arrival waypoint in the appropriate fields. Once the
Select a Waypoint window appears, use the SCAN softkey to quickly select the
desired waypoint from the list. (If you leave the departure or arrival waypoint
field blank, your present GPS position will be used for planning calculations.)
3. Enter a speed and hourly fuel flow in the appropriate fields.
4. Enter the departure date and time for your trip.
Once you’ve entered your speed, fuel and date/time values, the trip
information will be calculated and displayed at the bottom of the window.
The GPSMAP’s planning features also include a separate Sunrise/Sunset
Planning window to provide sunrise and sunset times at any waypoint.
To use the sunrise/sunset function:
1. Highlight the Sunrise/Sunset Planning option and press the C key.
2. Enter a waypoint in the location field and use the SCAN softkey to quickly
select the desired waypoint from the list. (If you leave the waypoint field blank,
your present GPS position will be used.)
3. Enter the date you want sunrise and sunset information for in the date field.
The default date is always the current date.
