Understanding the Position Data Page

The Position Data Page provides a quick reference for the important data you want to display while
navigating a route in Aviation Mode and Marine Mode. The default page displays a compass ribbon, your
current latitude and longitude, the current date and time, the location you are traveling from, and eight
user-selectable data fi elds. The compass ribbon is displayed at the top of the page to show your current
heading along with a red, vertical bar that indicates the bearing to your course. To stay on course, steer
towards the violet, vertical indicator (or arrows) until it lines up with the red bar in the middle.

Position Data Page Options Menu

The following options are available from the Position Data Page:
Set Up Page Layout – allows you to choose the layout and number of data fi elds.

Change Nearest Type – allows you to specify the type of item to be used as the nearest item. The
