Garmin Precedus GPS Receiver User Manual


 
Navigation Basics
This section explores the navigation function and describes
the powerful features it contains. When you become
comfortable operating the unit, you may wish to “fly” the
Precedus using the built-in simulator. Follow the instructions
in the Tutorial section.
About the
Navigation
Function
The navigation function is always active. When you use
other functions, the navigation function continues to run “in
the background” calculating your present position,
navigating your programmed route (if active), and alerting
you to events or conditions important to navigation. When
you finish using other functions and return to the navigation
function, the last navigation screen used is displayed.
About the
Navigation
Function
Screens
While you navigate, the Precedus gives you information in
the Navigation function screens. Screens provided are: zero
to four Navigation information screens (number is selected
by the user in the System Setup function), HSI Display,
messages, GPS status, route waypoints, navigation
information and moving map, and moving map alone. The
navigation information screens are user-programmable.
The buttons “scroll” or page forward or
backward through the screens. This section describes each
screen.
