Operator's Manual
The lower left window is also the same as POS2 and displays your
course and speed over ground. If the degree symbol has a small c
under it, this indicates the magnetic variation and compass devia-
tion table are being calculated and displayed. Refer to the CFG
Compass section for more details on how to set this up.
The right hand window indicates your accumulated mileage since
the receiver was first turned on. Note that this mileage will continu-
ally increase even when you are sitting still at the dock. This is due
to the method in which the mileage is calculated. Mileage is
calculated from one position fix to the next. So, if the unit is
operating in GPS mode with Selective Availability active, the
mileage will accumulate much faster than a receiver operating in
DGPS mode.
You will also find two Trip Reset softkeys if you press the E key.
Two trip logs are provided so that you can log the mileage for: a)
the current leg or day of your trip; and b) the entire trip. You will
also find a flashing cursor on the second line in the Trip Log. This is
provided so that you can label what type of mileage you are
logging. Edit this field the same way you would any of the descrip-
tion fields for the waypoints. You can also refer to the front of the
manual, Function Keys section, for guidance.
