Navigating to a Waypoint using the Map
The unique “birds-eye” view used by the map
gives you an easy way to navigate to a waypoint.
On the map screen shown at right, the arrow is
your present position. The box with the “S” in it
was your starting location when the waypoint was
recalled. The dotted line is called a course line
and is the shortest path from the starting loca-
tion to the destination. The “D” is the cursor des-
tination, when the cursor position is used as a
destination. If you follow the course line, you’ll reach the destination, cov-
ering the shortest distance in the least time.
CAUTION!
This product does NOT take land features or any other feature into ac-
count when it projects the course line on the screen. Use caution when
navigating to a location. Make certain there are no obstructions in your
path.
CANCEL NAVIGATION
This unit continues to navigate to a recalled waypoint, the last waypoint in
a route, or the cursor position until you stop it.
To stop the navigation function, press the MENU key, then press the up or
down arrow keys until the “Cancel Nav” label is highlighted. Press the
right arrow key. The unit stops showing navigation information.
ROUTES
You can connect several user waypoints together to form a route. When
you recall the route, the unit shows navigation information to the first way-
point in the route, then when you reach that waypoint, it switches to the
next waypoint, and so on until you reach the last waypoint in the route.
To create a route, first press the MENU key, highlight the “ROUTE PLAN-
NING” label, and press the right arrow key. The
screen shown at right appears.
This unit can store up to 99 routes. Route num-
ber one shows on this page. If you wish to create
a route using a different number, simply press
the left or right arrow keys until the desired route
number appears. In this example, however, we’ll
use route number one.
