AUXILIARY MENU
On-Screen Glossary
Viewing Messages
The last listing on the auxiliary options menu is the glossary function. The
GPSMAP’s on-screen glossary contains basic information on general navigation
terms and abbreviations, as well as helpful hints on using your unit.
To use the on-screen glossary:
1. Highlight the Glossary option from the Auxiliary Options window and press the
C key.
2. Use the PREV PG and NEXT PG softkeys to scroll through the glossary listings.
The Auxiliary Options window is also used to access any current messages
in your unit. There are two types of messages used in the GPSMAP system:
temporary messages (eg. approaching a waypoint) and condition messages
(eg. no DGPS position). All message are initially indicated by a flashing
on-screen alert (and a tone, if specified). After a temporary message has been
acknowledged (by pressing the
C key), it is cleared from the screen.
Condition messages will remain displayed in the messages window until the
condition has been resolved.
To view condition messages:
1. From the Auxiliary Options window, press the MESSAGE softkey.
2. To return to the Auxiliary Options window, press the C key.
