Using The Trip Odometer - Magellan 980588-01 - GPS Companion For Palm V/Vx Using Manual

Using the Trip Odometer

There are two odometers in your NAV Companion and they are displayed on the Speed Screen. As
you travel with your GPS Companion, the NAV Companion will be recording your distance and
updating the odometers.
These odometers can be reset independently of each other. You may wish to use the main odometer
as a total counter since you started using the GPS Companion and use the trip odometer just to
record the distance traveled on your present route. In this case you would never reset the main
odometer and reset the trip odometer right after you activated the route.
Or you may be on a long trip and you want to use the odometer to record the complete trip and use
the trip odometer to record your activities on a daily basis. For this example, you would reset both
odometers when you activate the route, and reset the trip odometer at the beginning of each day.
Resetting the Odometers
1. Tap the Menu Icon on you Palm organizer.
2. From the Tools menu, tap on Odometer Reset or Trip Reset.
3. A confirmation screen is displayed. Tap OK to complete the odometer reset or tap Cancel to
abort.
Resetting the trip odometer also resets the average and maximum speed.
Note: for average speed to be computed correctly, you need to be computing a 3D position fix while
resetting the trip odometer.
