Informational Picture - Overview
The Informational Picture on the bottom half of
screen features Garmin’s Mr. Mark Waypoint to show cur-
rent GPS & radio status and radio actions. As you operate
the unit, the graphics will change depending on what
actions you are taking or the unit settings.
Four satellites are shown on at the top of the picture
along with descriptive text to indicate GPS reception
status. As the unit collects satellite information, the satel-
lite symbols will fl ash alternately until all four are steady
indicating a 3D position fi x. The more satellites that are
steady, the better your position fi x.
As radio signals come in, signal wave symbols will
display to the left of Mark Waypoint. Fragmented (or
broken) signal symbols are shown to indicate activity on
that channel. Audio remains muted because the incoming
signal does not match the squelch code your unit is set to.
The Mark Waypoint fi gure will display several dif-
ferent icons, depending on what you are doing. A radio
in Mark’s hand indicates the radio is ready to use. A fl ag
in his other hand means the unit is ready to transmit its
position or be manually polled (GPS must be On to use
this feature.) As you transmit, you will see radio waves
around Mark’s radio. When your peer-to-peer transmis-
sion is sent, Mark will raise the fl ag in his hand. As
positions are received, a fl ag will briefl y appear on top of
the hill to the left.
