Remember that
SOFT KEYS
are used to quickly access options or functions for the Main Page that

Basic Navigation
The main use of a GPS is to be able to navigate to a known position. We have already created a
waypoint using the
ENTER/MARK
key, let’s create another waypoint using the Map Pointer, and then
begin navigation to that point.
Press the
PAGE
key until the Map Page is displayed. Press the
IN
key several times until the Map
Scale located at the bottom right of the display reads “2 nm”. This will “Zoom In” on the map showing
a smaller area in more detail.
The
ARROW KEYPAD
controls the Map Pointer. The Map Pointer originates from the current GPS
location, represented by the triangle in the middle of the display.
To Display the Map Pointer:
1. Press the
ARROW KEYPAD
in any direction.
Using the
ARROW KEYPAD
you can move the Map Pointer around the map. As you move the Map
Pointer around the map, the direction and distance of the Map Pointer from the current GPS location
will be displayed in the information bar along the top of the display. Move the Map Pointer until it is
approximately two miles from the current GPS location.
