NAVIGATION
The NAVIGATION (NAV) key provides Distance, Cross Track Error,
and Bearing- and Steering-related data.

destination waypoint. Therefore, a route must be entered with ROUTE
before NAV can be used.
Before starting, enter your route and display the current leg.
To navigate to the first
destination, press NAV.
The first screen displays
Bearing, Distance to the
destination waypoint,
Cross Track Error, whether
you are right or left of your
route leg, and which leg
you are on.
