Using distance and bearing mode
The unit lets you quickly and easily determine the distance

(you can also use this function to create new waypoints
defined by their distance and bearing from another point):

screen.
2. Press the menu key. The unit dis-
plays your present position at the center of the
CHART
screen, with the cursor situated directly over it.
3. Move the cursor to the first location and press the
menu key. A new
“X,”
or starting point, is dis-
played at that location. Distance and bearing information
from the
“X”
point to the cursor’s position is now dis-
played in the
INFO BAR
. You can move the cursor to vari-
ous points on the
CHART
screen and see the distance and
bearing from the
X
point as it moves.
