Driving Status; Navigation Information - Garmin StreetPilot GPS Owner's Manual

The top of the Map Page indicates your Driving Status:
The direction you are driving; one of eight possible directions - North (N),
South (S), East (E), West (W), NE, SE, SW, or NW.
The name of the road or street you are driving on (if the StreetPilot has
selected a road).
Often, the name of a nearby city or town is displayed. You may not necessarily be
within the boundaries of this city, and you may even be within the boundary of
another city. Cities are stored in the StreetPilot as points, if a city name is displayed,
it is because it is the nearest reference point to your current location.
The Navigation Information Window is shown to the right of the map display area. If the
StreetPilot is not navigating to a destination, the Navigation Information area displays a compass
indicating your direction of travel at the top, your speed and the current time of day.
