The GPSMAP 175' s map page provides a comprehensive display of
electronic cartography, plotting and navigational data. The map display
shows your boat on a digital chart, complete with geographic names, navaids,
depth contours and a host of other chart features. It also plots your track and
displays any routes and waypoints you create. An on-screen cursor lets you
pan and scroll to other map areas, determine the distance and bearing to a
position, and perform various route and waypoint functions.
The data window, located at the top of the page, provides a user-
selectable display of your current course and speed over ground, along with
the bearing and distance to a destination waypoint. Whenever the cursor is
active, a pop-up window will appear below the data window to indicate the
position, range and bearing to the cursor or a selected waypoint or navaid.
Each data field may be configured to display any one of ten data options. The
data window may also be changed to display additional data fields, a graphic
compass tape, or a CDI scale. The status bar at the bottom of the page
displays the map scale currently in use.
A. Use the cursor to
pan ahead to other
map areas. The
map display will
scroll forward when
you reach the edge
of the map.
B. To select or
'highlight' an on-
screen navaid or
waypoint, simply move the cursor over the waypoint symbol. The cursor will
'snap' to the waypoint, and display its name and position in the data field.
