The Main Page

Destination (Waypoint) Name
Time to Destination
Selectable Data Fields
The Navigation Page provides active guidance with a rotating compass ring that
shows your course over ground (track) while you're moving and a bearing pointer to
indicate the current direction to your destination (bearing) relative to the course over
ground.
The Status Window at the top of the page shows you the name of your destination,
the distance, and the time to go. Two Data Fields are provided, and can be programmed
to display a variety of navigation data.
The Bent (Bearing) Pointer arrow alerts you to the upcoming turn while you are
navigating a route. When you get within 15 seconds ETA of the current point, the
pointer "bends" to indicate the direction of the turn to the next point while still showing
the direction to the current point.
When you are not on an active Goto, Track or Route (in other words: not traveling
to a recorded destination), the window at the top of the page displays the status of the
GPS Receiver and the approximate accuracy of your current position. The Compass Ring
displays your heading while you are moving, but the data fields at the bottom of the
page will not display any destination related data, such as Estimated Time of Arrival.
