When navigating to a waypoint, the Navigation screen looks like the
following figure. Your ground speed, track, distance and bearing to
waypoint, and course are all shown digitally on this screen.
NOTE:
Remember, when the Speed, Track and Position information dis-
plays are flashing, satellite lock has not been achieved and no posi-

Speed (ground speed) is the velocity you are making over the ground. (If
you wish, you can customize the Speed data box to display Closing
Speed instead. Closing Speed is also known as velocity made good. It's
the speed that you're making toward the waypoint. For instructions,
see the Customize Page Displays entry in Sec. 5.)
Track is the heading, or the current direction you are actually travel-

to the destination. No matter what direction you are steering, the
Bearing data box shows the compass direction straight to the destina-
tion from your location at the moment. Distance shows how far it is to
the waypoint you're navigating toward.
