The NAVLOG screen
The
Navlog
screen displays the waypoints in
your current trip and lets you easily make
changes to them. To access the screen,
press the
Navlog
key on the
Steer
screen.
The navlog helps you plan and log your
trip, using three main functions:
•
displaying your progress along your
trip
•
allowing you to easily change the rest
of your trip (add waypoints to a route,
or reverse the entire trip)
•
allowing you to sequence to the next
leg, if you’ve chosen manual waypoint
sequencing
The nav log contains the series of
waypoints that you follow along your route
and displays them in sequential order.
When you navigate to these waypoints, or
along an already stored route, the series of
waypoints is copied into the nav log, which
acts as a kind of “scratch pad” to monitor
your progress. You can change the nav
log’s route in any way you want without
affecting the original route, which remains
safely stored in the 972.
To see the waypoints you’re currently navi-
gating along, press the
Navlog
key on
either
Steer
screen.
The
Navlog
screen shows the list of
waypoints, the length and bearing of each
leg, and the direction of your next trip leg.
Press the cursor pad to scan the waypoints
in the list.
To display either a waypoint’s description
or its estimated time of arrival (ETA), press
the
Display
menu key. For waypoints you
haven’t passed yet, the times of arrival
shown are estimates based on your current
speed. For waypoints you’ve
already
passed, actual times of arrival are shown .
The 972 updates this information as you
travel.
