Navigating to a Waypoint
When using "Go To" to navigate, a direct line (or course) is cre-
ated to the waypoint. The direction you are to move is the heading
(N, S, E, W). If you stray off course you can use a bearing (com-
® , pass pointer) to be redirected toward your destination. The Map,
Compass and Trip Computer Pages use these elements to direct
your navigation efforts.
1. Press the PAGE key repeatedly until the Compass Page is
displayed. This page contains a "Bearing Pointer" and a
"Compass Ring."
The Bearing Pointer indicates the direction to go and the
Compass Ring rotates to indicate North orientation when
you begin to move. Digital Data fields at the top of the
page display selectable navigation information such as
speed, distance to go, elapsed time, etc.
2. Press the QUIT key to move to the Map Page and observe
your progress toward the waypoint. A Bearing line displays
on the map and the Position Arrow moves as you move.
3. Press the QUIT key again to move to the Trip Computer
Page. This page provides travel data such as a trip odom-
eter, maximum speed, etc.
4. To stop navigation, press the MENU key with the Com-
pass or Map Page displayed, then select "Stop Naviga-
tion" and press ENTER.
