System Settings
Some common settings that can be accessed from any
page are; Backlighting, Navigation Mode, NMEAOutput,
Map Direction and Units (Miles vs. Kilometers) See 20-A.
Most of the settings affect the Map Page.
Backlight allows you to change the time the background
lighting remains on.
Navigation Mode allows you to select Normal, Saving or
Simulate mode. Saving mode allows the unit to still search
for satellites but not as often, thus saving battery life. This
setting is not recommended for difficult terrain or in city
areas where satellite reception may be weak.
NMEA Output allows the Galileo
to communicate to
NMEA0183 ready devices.
See page 33 for NMEA information.
Map Direction switches the map page orientation from
North being the direction heading or Track. Track relates
to either a shortcut (GoTo) or waypoint location. When
Track is selected a small Icon in the top left of the screen
points in the direction of North.
Units switch between US and Metric measurements.
