ON-SCREEN BUTTON-
Similar to “Field”. Place the cursor on a button and press

to
select the action corresponding to that button. An example of an on-screen button is the ‘Route to It’
button appearing at the bottom of the Waypoint Marked Page.
SCROLL BAR-
When viewing a list of items too long to display on a single page, a scroll bar will
appear along the right-hand side of the list. The position of the scroll bar indicates which portion of the
list is currently being displayed. The height of the scroll bar indicates the number of items in the list. To
scroll through a list of items, use the
UP/DOWN
portion of the
ROCKER KEYPAD
.
DEFAULT-
A system-selected format, built into the operating software or the unit’s memory, that
will be followed unless the user chooses a different setting. For example, the default setting for speed
readings is ‘miles per hour’ but can be changed to ‘kilometers per hour’. Once a setting is changed,
the new setting is retained until another change is made or a ‘Restore Original Settings’ menu option
is selected.
An example of a “button”—the ‘Route to It’ button on the
Waypoint Marked Page.
When viewing a list of items too long to display on
a single page, a scroll bar will appear along the right-
hand side of the list. Also, using the Left/Right portion of
the
ROCKER KEYPAD

screen at a time.
