Simulated Navigation
To display the map pointer:
1. Press the
ARROW KEYPAD
any direction.
Using the
ARROW KEYPAD
you can pan the Map Pointer around the map. As you move around
the map, the direction and distance from the Map Pointer to the current GPS location is displayed along
the top of the map.
To mark a waypoint using the map pointer:
1. With the Map Pointer at a location on the map about one mile from your current location, and not on
a road or map feature, press and quickly release the
ENTER
key.
The location of the Map Pointer will be captured and the New Map Waypoint Page will be dis-
played. Change the waypoint name to “MAP 1”, and save the waypoint by highlighting the ‘OK’ Button
and pressing the
ENTER
key. Press the
QUIT
key to hide the Map Pointer and center the map on the
current GPS location. Press the
OUT
key until the Zoom Scale reads “800ft”.
Now that we have a destination, navigating to it is just a step away.
Going to a waypoint:
1. Press the
NAV
key.
2. Highlight ‘Go To Point’ then press the
ENTER
key.
3. Highlight ‘Waypoints’ then press the
ENTER
key.
4. Highlight ‘MAP 1’ then press the
ENTER
key.
5. Highlight the ‘Goto’ Button then press the
ENTER
key.
The GPSMAP 176 is now navigating to the waypoint ‘MAP 1’.
For a GPS to navigate it has to be moving. Fortunately you can simulate movement in the GPSMAP
176. Press the
PAGE
key until the Compass Page is displayed. Along the right side of the Compass
Page there are several data fi elds. Notice the Speed Field located at the top. To simulate movement,
press the
ARROW KEYPAD
up one time. This will set a speed of 10 miles per hour. If you continue
to press or hold the
ARROW KEYPAD
, the speed will increase in 10 mph increments. For this
exercise, 10 mph is fi ne.
