Position Page
The position page shows your position, direction, and speed. There is a graphic
compass tape at the top of the page that shows the direction you’re heading (you
have to be moving), and four selectable data fields: course over ground (COG),
speed over ground (SOG), distance traveled (TRP) and altitude (ALT). The bottom
half of the page displays your present position’s coordinates, along with the time
of day (calculated using GPS satellites). The status bar at the bottom of the page
displays important status, alarm and map scale information. It also provides on-
screen user and message prompts.
The units of measure for speed, distance, position and altitude are all user-
selectable through the navigation setup option on the main menu page
(page 79). The time of day is shown in UTC (Universal Time Coordinated, or
Greenwich Mean Time) and can be set to a 12- or 24-hour time format (with a
local offset) through the system setup option on the main menu page.
