Trip Computer Page
The Trip Computer Page provides a quick reference for the
important data you want to show while navigating a route in
Automotive Mode. It indicates your current speed and many helpful
statistics about your trip, such as bearing, average speed, and
moving time.
Reset the Trip Computer before beginning a trip. If you make
frequent stops, leave the GPSMAP 296 turned on to allow the unit to
accurately measure elapsed time during the trip.
