The
NAV LOG
key displays the waypoints you have passed, and allows
you to change those ahead of you. See “What NAV LOG Does,” on page
64, for more information.
The five round
MENU
keys on the right side of the display screen are
used for different purposes depending on what function is currently be-
ing used or displayed. The function of each key is labeled on the screen,
and pressing the key performs the displayed function.
A large cursor pad in the upper right corner of the 941X allows you to
move the flashing cursor on the display screen to the data you want to
display or change. For example, when entering data (such as a way-
point’s name or coordinates) press the down arrow to move the cursor
downwards to a particular field of data and press the right arrow key to
move the cursor to a particular character in that field.
The 12-button alphanumeric keypad is used for entering numbers, letters
or special characters for waypoint coordinates, names, etc.
When the 941X is expecting you to enter numbers only, such as for way-
point coordinates, the keypad keys enter one digit, 0-9, with each key-
press. The flashing cursor moves automatically to the next digit position.
For entries such as latitude and longitude—where the digits must be en-
tered into specific character positions—the cursor starts on the left side
of the field and characters are entered left to right into their correct po-
sitions.
For other numeric entries such as distances—where a number of variable
length may be entered—the digits are entered calculator-style from the
NAV LOG key
