    • If the receiver’s memory has been cleared and all internally stored data has been lost. Because the GPS 12 MAP relies on satellite signals to provide you with navigation guidance, the GPS receiver’s view of the sky will generally determine how fast you get a position fix—or if you get a fix at...

  • Page 17: Position Page

    The Position Page shows you where you are, what direction you’re heading, and how fast you’re going—and it’s the page you’ll want to use when you don’t have a destination selected. A graphic compass display at the top of the page shows your direction of travel (track) while you’re moving, while six user-selectable data fields below display your current speed,...

  • Page 18: Map Page

    Map Page With the map oriented to ‘track up’, the pointer always points up and the map rotates to your cur- rent direction of travel (track). Note the north indicator on the map. You can also select a full- screen map from the Map Page Options.

  • Page 19: Compass Page

    The GPS 12 MAP features two different navigation pages: Compass and Highway. The Compass Page is first. This page provides graphic steering guidance to a destination waypoint, with an emphasis on the bearing to your destination and current direction of travel.

  • Page 20: Highway Page

    You have arrived when the waypoint is at the bot- tom center of the display. The GPS 12 MAP’s Highway Page also provides graphic steering guidance to a destina- tion waypoint. As you head toward your destination, the middle of the screen provides visual guidance to your waypoint on a moving graphic “highway.”...

  • Page 21: Main Menu

    The GPS 12 MAP’s Main Menu provides access to additional pages (submenus) that are used to create or edit waypoints, create routes, list nearby waypoints, review trip information and timers or make changes to system settings. These six pages are divided into categories by function.

  • Page 22: Marking Waypoints

    GPS is really about marking and going to places called ‘waypoints’. Before we can use the GPS 12 MAP to guide us somewhere, we have to mark a position as a waypoint. Your GPS 12 MAP can hold up to 500 waypoints.

  • Page 23: Going To A Waypoint

    Once you’ve stored a waypoint in memory, you can use the GPS 12 MAP to guide you to it by using the GOTO feature. A GOTO is really nothing more than a straight-line course from your present position to the destination you’ve selected.

  • Page 24: Active Route Page

    Cancel GOTO/ Active Route To cancel the current GOTO destination, select ‘Cancel GOTO’ from the GOTO Options Page. Use the LEFT/RIGHT keys on the rocker key- pad to select the desired data item. Available items include course, dis- tance, fuel, and sunrise/ sunset times.
