9.4 Compass Page
When you are navigating using a route, the Compass page (diagram 1) helps you to hold the course, indicating the
moving direction, the next waypoint, the distance with respect to it, and other useful parameters.
If you are navigating using an AutoRoute instead, this page will become a convenient “ Guide With Arrow ” that indicates
turns and the distance to cover before arriving to them (see par. 11).
The references are as follows (please refer to the following diagram):
1
a) NEXT WP – It shows the name of the next waypoint.
b) TO NEXT – These two fields show respectively the distance and the estimated time to reach the next waypoint
(NEXT WP).
c) TO DEST – These two fields show respectively the distance and the estimated time to reach final destination.
d) Compass needle – It graphically shows the direction of the next waypoint.
e) Direction indicator – It shows the navigation direction (the circle with the cardinal points underneath rotates below
it).
Pressing the (menu) button you can access to the following options, which can be highlighted with the Joystick and
selected using the
button.
•
Change Next WP – It allows selecting a waypoint different than the one chosen in order to monitor the various legs that define the
route. For further details, please refer to par. 9.4.a.
•
System Setting – It allows accessing to the settings menu. For further details, please refer to par. 8.1.
