3.6 NAVIGATION MODE
The bearing indicator moves in a 120-degree arc in the upper part of the display. If the
direction of the unit deviates more than this from the tracked bearing, the unit prompts
the direction where to turn the unit with arrows. Once the circle appears on top of the
display, the accurate bearing can be tracked again.
The main display has three rows:
Waypoint/Route: When Navigate is on, the first row displays the name and number
of the navigated waypoint. If Navigate is off, the name of the activated route is displayed.
Heading/Length: When Navigate is on, the second row displays the heading in
degrees. If Navigate is off, the total length of the activated route is displayed.
NOTE: If the GPS is off the unit always displays the selected route and total length.
