Compass Page And Options - Garmin GPS 152 Owner's Manual And Reference Manual

Compass Page
The GPS 152 features two different navigation pages: Compass and Highway. Whenever a NAV/
MOB, Follow Track (TracBack) or Follow Route have been activated, the GPS 152' s Compass Page will
guide you to your destination with digital readouts and a graphic compass display, which includes
a bearing pointer. Use this page (instead of the Highway Page) when travelling at slower speeds,
when making frequent directional changes, or where straight-line navigation is not possible due to
obstructions or terrain. The middle of the page features a rotating 'compass ring' that shows your course
over ground (track) while you're moving. Your present course over ground is indicated at the top
of the compass ring. A bearing pointer, in the middle of the compass ring, indicates the direction
of the destination (bearing) relative to the course over ground. The compass ring and pointer arrow
work independently to show—at a glance—the direction of your movement and the direction to your
destination. For instance, if the arrow points up, you are going directly to the waypoint. If the arrow
points any direction other than up, turn toward the arrow until it points up, then continue in that
direction.
I
The bearing pointer and/or compass ring may point in various directions when you are
stationary or at very low speeds. Once you start moving, the pointer will be correct.
The GPS 152' s Compass Page features a menu page that provides access to data fi eld and simulator
options. You may start and stop the simulator from this page. The data window, located on the right
side of the page, provides a user-selectable layout of various types of useful data. Each data fi eld may
be confi gured to display any one of 27 data options (Change Data Fields). The data window layout may
also be altered to change the actual text size of the data displayed (Big/Small Numbers).
