Position Data Page

The Position Data page provides a quick reference for the important
data you want to display while navigating a route in Aviation Mode
and Marine Mode. The default page displays a compass ribbon,
your current latitude and longitude, the current date and time, the
location you are traveling from, and eight user-selectable data fields.
The compass ribbon is displayed at the top of the page to show your
current heading with a red, vertical bar. To stay on course, steer
towards the violet bar (or arrows) until it is aligned with the red bar.
Press PAGE repeatedly to open the Position Data page.
