Using the Marine Timer
The Marine Timer, specifically designed for sail boat racing, allows
you to easily count up or down by specified time increments. As
is common in sail boat racing, there is often a 5-minute warning
countdown, followed by a 4-minute preparation countdown, and
finally a 1-minute final countdown. Then during the race, mariners
might want to count up to keep track of their time.
You can use your GPSMAP 378/478 to perform each of these
different countdowns.
To open the Marine Timer:
1. Press
MENU
