The GPS III+’s Highway Page also provides graphic steering guidance to a
destination waypoint. As you head toward your destination, the middle of the screen
provides visual guidance to your waypoint on a moving graphic “highway.” Your
present position is at the bottom center of the highway display. The line down the
middle of the highway represents your desired course. As you navigate toward a
waypoint, the highway will actually move—indicating the direction you’re off course.
To stay on course, simply move toward the center of the highway.
The top of the page indicates speed and distance to your destination (or the
next waypoint in a route), along with a track compass showing current direction of
travel. Directly below the distance reading is the time required to reach your
destination (or the next waypoint in a route), in hours/minutes or minutes/seconds.
The pointer at the bottom of the page also shows the bearing to your destination,
relative to your current track. If the pointer points straight ahead, you’re heading
directly to your destination!
Use the Highway Page as your primary navigation page (in lieu of the Compass
Page) when your main concern is following a defined course.
If you move off course the
highway display will move,
indicating the direction you
are off course. To stay on
course, simply move toward
the center of the highway.
As you approach your desti-
nation, the graphic highway
will stop at the destination
waypoint. You have arrived
when the waypoint is at the
bottom center of the display.
