Viewing the Map Page
If a 2-D or 3-D fix is obtained, the Map Page displays the map data that is available for your current
GPS location. If a GPS fix cannot be obtained, the location of your last GPS fix displays on the map.
The color of the GPS arrow will depend on your GPS signal.
• A flashing red arrow indicates that the Earthmate GPS PN-20 cannot obtain a GPS signal.
• A blue arrow indicates that the device is in Track Playback mode or Simulate Navigation mode.
• A yellow arrow indicates a 2-D fix.
• A green arrow indicates a 3-D fix.
Below the map are information fields. The information that displays in these fields will vary based on
the selections you choose (for more information, see To Change the Information Fields on page 21).
The scale bar can be found above the information fields. A north arrow is also available in the upper-
right corner of the screen (only available when Heading Up is selected (or Course Up is selected
when navigating) as the map orientation). Note: Raster maps rotate in 90° headings.
