and you run a route (see the routes section), this unit may not show navi-
gation data to the next waypoint, once you arrive at the first one, since

moonset calculator that shows this information
anywhere or anytime in the world. To use it, press

CALC” and press the right arrow key. The screen
shown at right appears. (Both calculators work
identically. The sunrise/sunset calculator is used
for this example.) The sun and moon data for
today’s date appear in the center of the screen.
A moon symbol shows in the moonrise/moonset box, showing the ap-
proximate phase of the moon. The arrow next to the symbol shows if it is
moving towards a full moon (up) or a new moon (down).
Today’s date shows at the top of the screen. If you want to know the
sunrise/sunset for a different date, press the ENT key, then enter the new
date with the arrow keys. The unit returns to the above screen with the
sun and moon data shown for the date you entered.
The sun and moon data show for your present position. If you move the
plotter’s cursor to a different position before using this calculator, it will
show the sunrise/sunset for the cursor’s location.
