Let' s continue the Getting Started Tour with the map page.
1. Press the J key.
The GPSMAP 135 Sounder' s map page combines digital chartplotting with a
user-selectable display of navigation data and a built-in worldwide database to 64
nm. It will also be the page you use most to create and edit waypoints and routes.
Before we take off on our practice route, let' s take a brief look at its various features
and displays.
Boat
Icon
The map display, located in the middle of the page, shows your boat as a trian-
gle marker on an electronically generated chart. Geographic names, markers and
buoys that are provided by the G-chart cartridge you're currently using are also
shown. It also displays your track, routes and nearby waypoints. An on-screen
cursor lets you pan to other map areas, determine the range and bearing to a posi-
tion, and perform various waypoint and route functions.
The data window, located at the top of the page, provides a user-selectable dis-
play of various navigation data, including course, speed over ground, and bearing
and distance to the cursor or a particular waypoint. The status bar, located at the
bottom of the page, displays the current map scale setting, as well as the status infor-
mation described on page 21.
