Operator's Manual
POS2 - Position, Altitude, Magnetic Variation, & Time
This screen is divided into three windows. The upper left window
provides your position coordinates, the antenna altitude (above Mean
Sea Level - MSL), altitude mode (2D or 3D), the magnetic variation
(Variation) for your present position, and the present datum in use
for calculating your position.
The lower left window displays your course and speed over ground.
If the degree symbol has a small 'c' under it, this indicates that the
magnetic variation and compass deviation table are being calculated
and displayed. Refer to the CFG1 Compass section for more details
on how to set this up.
The right hand window indicates today's date and time. This setup is
in the CFG1 Time menu. It can be set for UTC time, local 12 hour
time, or local 24 hour time. There is an added summer/winter feature
to help you remember which direction to set the clock for day light
savings in the summer.
There are no editing capabilities in this screen.
POS3 - Position & Log
This screen is divided into three windows. The upper left window is
the same as POS2 and provides: your position coordinates, the an-
tenna altitude (above Mean Sea Level - MSL), altitude mode (2D or
3D), the magnetic variation (Variation) for your present position,
and the present datum in use for calculating your position.
