The Satellite Page is one of four main pages used in the GPSMAP 230' s system.
All four pages are linked together in a simple chain, which allows you to scroll
through the pages in either direction using the
tour, let' s move on to the next page, the Position Page.
To scroll to the next page in sequence:
1. Press the
key.
The GPSMAP 230' s Position Page shows where you are, what direction you're
heading and how fast you're going. The compass tape at the top of the page indi-
cates the direction you're moving. The four user-selectable data fields below the
compass tape show your current course and speed over ground, along with a
resettable trip odometer and altitude display. Your current latitude and longitude,
along with a 12/24-hour clock, appear at the bottom of the page.
Now that you've seen how the Satellite and Position Pages can be used to moni-
tor satellite acquisition and your present position, let' s take a minute to learn how
to mark and store our present position as a waypoint. (Since we're in simulator
mode, the present position displayed will be the last position calculated by the
receiver, which should be the spot where you've initialized the unit.) This will also
give you an opportunity to see how the GPSMAP 230' s
are used for data entry.
