4. When the receiver has signals from at least three satellites, the
display at the top of the page will change to indicate position
accuracy and location coordinates. The Status Bar at the top of
the display indicates the GPS status and status of other features.
If, for any reason, you have diffi culty initializing your GPSmap 76C,
the solution could be as simple as moving slightly to avoid objects that
are blocking or defl ecting the satellite signals.
5. Press and release the
PAGE
key until the Map Page is dis-
played. You are now ready to begin GPS aided navigation.
Active Navigation is supported by three of the Main Pages:
The
Map Page
graphically shows you map details, your current loca-
tion, marks your route to a destination with a route line, and leaves a trail
(track log) of where you’ve been.
The
Compass Page
indicates direction to go and direction of travel.
The
Trip Computer Page
records and displays travel data.
There are three methods of navigating to a destination when using the
GPSmap 76C’, each graphically displayed on the
Map Page
.
Go To -
A direct path to a selected destination (waypoint, city, address, etc.).
Track -
A previous path of travel that has been stored (logged) in the
GPSmap 76C. A Track allows you to repeat a path or return on the path.
Route -
A path to a destination consisting of intermediate stops along
the way (waypoints, cities, exits, points of interest, intersections, etc.).
Refer to the sections on Tracks, Routes and Waypoints for details.
