Road Screen
The Road screen presents your route as if you were travelling
on a road. When you need to make a turn, the road will graph-
ically display the turn and the direction. Waypoint and desti-
nation icons will be displayed relative to your position as they
come into view. Above the road is a compass that displays your
heading and above that are four customizable data fields.
The Road screen contains the following information, from top
to bottom:
- In the title bar: destination name if you are using the Goto
function
- Data Fields: customizable data fields (see Customize
option below). Some of the data displayed requires you to
be moving to be computed. Invalid data is indicated by
dashes.
- Compass: Displays your heading in a familiar compass for-
mat.
- Road: This graphically displays the route (Goto) that is
active. As you move left or right of your intended track, the
road will move on the display indicating which way you
need to steer to get back on track. Ideally, the road would
be centered on the display. Also, you will see upcoming
turns in advance allowing you to make necessary prepara-
tions.
- Scale indicator: Use Zoom In/Out to change the scale.
You can customize the Road screen by pressing the MENU
button while the screen is displayed. For more information,
see page 47.
