The Pointer Page
The Pointer Page replaces the HSI Page when the
unit is in Marine or Automotive Mode. During active
navigation, the Pointer Page guides you to your
destination with digital data field readouts and a
graphic Pointer appears with a bearing pointer.
To show the Pointer Page in Marine and
Automotive Modes:
While in Automotive or Marine Mode, use
PAGE
to show the Pointer Page.
Pointer Page (Automotive Mode)
The bottom of the page features a rotating Pointer ring
that shows your course over ground (track) while you
are moving. The course is indicated at the top of the
Pointer ring.
The direction of your destination (bearing) relative
to the course is indicated by a bearing pointer in
the middle of the Pointer ring. A bearing “bug”
on the outside of the Pointer ring in Marine mode
only. The Pointer ring and bearing indicators work
independently to show, at a glance, the direction of
your movement and the direction to your destination.
If the arrow points up, you are going directly to the
waypoint. If the arrow points any other direction turn
toward the arrow until it points up. The Marine Mode
is a Course Pointer similar to the HSI, that can be
selected from the Marine Mode Options Menu.
NOTE:
You must be moving for the Pointer to
accurately update and show your heading.
Configurable data fields at the top of the page show
helpful information during active navigation. For
definitions of data field settings, refer to the Appendix.
The Automotive Mode features data fields with
default settings that are more desirable for land
navigation.
