6.3. MAP page
The map page (shown below) presents a picture of where you are going. You,
represented by the animated symbol, proceed toward your destination and leave a
trail, or track log. As you travel, you can make use of waypoints (specific geographic
or man-made objects) that can mark your route as you travel. These waypoints also
make it easy for you to retrace your steps, establishing a route back to your starting
point.
To better appreciate where you are and the direction you are headed in, the map
page includes several other useful features to guide your way:
6.3.1. Compass
A Compass indicator depicts the direction you are
moving to
(heading).

movement!

A map scale is displayed indicating the relative distance in feet between 100 feet and 800 miles;
just toggle the

A bar appears at the bottom of the display signifying the amount of memory used between 0
