The GPSMAP 168 Sounder' s Map Page combines digital chartplotting with a user-selectable display
of navigation data and a built-in worldwide database to 20 mi. 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.
Data
Window
The map display shows your "boat" as a triangle marker on an electronically generated chart.
Geographic names, roads, markers and buoys that are provided by the optional MapSource data 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 position, and perform various waypoint
and route functions.
The data window, located at the top of the page, provides a user-selectable display of various
navigation data, including course, speed over ground, and bearing and distance to the cursor or a
particular waypoint. The current map scale setting is located at the bottom right of the page.
