The GPS 500's display is divided into three separate "windows" (or
screen areas). The left 1/4 of the display provides three user-defined
data field windows. The right 3/4 of the display consists of a GPS
window, which is where you'll find the various navigation, waypoint
information and settings "pages". The bottom of the display is used
for annunciators.
Each unique screen of information is referred to as a "page". Pages
are typically selected using the small and large right knobs—with
the cursor removed from the GPS window. See the following page for
details on arrangement of the GPS 500's main pages.

Data Entry

Data is entered in the GPS window
using the small and large right knobs.
The large right knob is used to move the
cursor about the page. The small right
knob is used to select individual charac-
ters for the highlighted cursor location.
For example, to change the "S" in the
illustration at right to a different character,
rotate the small right knob.
