Information is displayed in a large format so that it may be easily viewed
from a distance. All of the fields can be customized; default fields include
bearing (BRG) to the active waypoint, course over ground (COG) and
cross track error (XTE), or you may select VMG (velocity made good),
SOA (speed of advance), SOG (speed over ground), ETA (estimated time
of arrival), TTG (time to go), DST (distance), XTE (cross track error), STR
(steering), CTS (course to steer) or a blank line. Cross track error (XTE) is
displayed as a numeric value. The arrow next to XTE indicates the
direction of the error, left or right of the course line.

As previously mentioned, NAV 1 and NAV 2 screens can be customized
to display the data fields you find most convenient for navigation.
When you access these two screens for the first time, the fields shown
are the default choices. The NAV 1 screen displays BRG, DST, COG and
SOG fields, while the NAV2 screen displays BRG, COG and XTE fields.

COG Course Over Ground
ETA Estimated time of arrival to the active waypoint
TTG Time to go
VMG Velocity made good toward active waypoint
