Data Pages

The A60 can also display various Data pages as split windows alongside the chart 
and fishfinder applications. The following soft keys appear when the Chart and 
Fishfinder pages are selected, respectively:

            

            

Press the appropriate soft key to select the desired data split screen.

Nav Data

The Nav (Navigation) Data page displays position and active waypoint 
information as well as the current time, date and water depth. The Chart and Nav 
Data windows are shown in the following figure:

            

Note:  

The A60 sets its internal clock from the GPS. Therefore, time of day is not available 

until a GPS fix is acquired. After this initial fix, the A60 continues to update its internally 
stored time of day, even if GPS fix is lost. Upon power down, however, time of day is lost.
