UNITS OF MEASURE

The GlobalMap Sport™ can show its data in many different formats. For
example, distance can be displayed in statute miles (MI), nautical miles
(NM), or kilometers (KM).
The following can be changed on the Units of Measure menu:
Distance .................. miles, nautical miles, kilometers
Speed ...................... miles per hour, knots, kilometers per hour
Bearing .................... magnetic, true
Altitude .................... feet, meters
Clock ....................... 12-hour (a.m.-p.m.), 24 hour
Position Format ....... degrees, minutes, and tenths of a minute
To change a setting on this menu, move the
black box to the desired selection, then press
the left or right arrow key. You can change one
or all of the settings on this page. When you're
finished, press the EXIT key.

Position Format

To change the position format, move the black box to the "Position For-
mat" label on the Units of Measure menu, then press the right arrow key.
A screen similar to the one below appears.
The GlobalMap Sport™ can show the posi-
tion in degrees, minutes, and hundredths of a
minute (36 28.700') or degrees, minutes, and
seconds (36 28' 40.9". It can also show posi-
tion in UTM's or Universal Transverse Mercator
projection.
UTM's are marked on USGS topographic
charts. This system divides the Earth into 60
zones, each approximately 6 degrees wide in
longitude. Their unit of measure is in meters. For example, 15 N means
that the position shown to the right of the "N" is in grid 15, and it's north of
the equator.
