Course (CRS) is the bearing from your starting location to your destina-
tion. (Remember, course has nothing to do with your present position,
except for your starting location.) It's shown as a dotted line on the NAV 1
display. This is shown as a reminder so that if you deviate from your origi-
nal course, you can easily return to it. (A "course" is a proposed path over
the ground. A "track" is your actual path over ground.)
All of the digital boxes on this screen are programmable. See the "Pro-
gramming" section for more information.
Nav Screen #2
The navigation screen shows navigation information in large digital num-
bers. To view this screen, press the MODE key, then press the up arrow
key until the black box surrounds the "NAV 1" label. Now press the right
arrow key. A screen similar to the one below appears. Press the EXIT key
to erase the mode menu.
This screen is composed of eight digital dis-
play boxes, showing your track (TRK), and
ground speed (GS). The other boxes show navi-
gation data when a waypoint is recalled, in-
cluding bearing to the waypoint (BRG), veloc-
ity made good (VMG), distance to waypoint
(DIS), estimated time en route (ETE), local time
(CLOCK), and a CDI. The CDI is a course de-
viation indicator, showing your distance to the
left or right of the desired course.
You can reprogram all of the digital boxes on the NAV 2 screen. See the
"Programming" section for more information.
Mapping
The AccuMap Sport has a ground map of the world built inside. This map
has the majority of its detail in southern Canada, the continental United
States and Hawaiian islands, the Caribbean down to and including the
Virgin Islands, all the way down to the nor th-
ern coast of Honduras. It's displayed with or
without a map cartridge.
There are four different mapping screens avail-
able. Map screen number 4 shows by default.
Your current position displays at the center of
the screen by a cross surrounded by a flash-
ing diamond.
