The last section of the Map Page is the softkey menu, which is displayed
across the bottom of the screen. The first two softkeys provide quick access to
route and waypoint functions from any GPSMAP page. The AUX softkey
provides instant access to the Auxiliary Menu. For instructions on using these
softkeys, refer to the section dedicated to each key. The RNG/BRG softkey
appears only on the Map Page, and lets you use the cursor to calculate the
range and bearing between any two on-screen positions.
To calculate the distance and bearing between two points:
1. Press the RNG/BRG softkey.
2. Use the
K
keypad to move the arrow cursor to the desired reference position
and press the
C
key. To clear a reference point, press the CLEAR softkey.
3. Use the
K
keypad to move the arrow cursor to the desired finish position.
The bearing and distance from the reference point will be displayed in the
destination window.
4. Press the EXIT softkey to quit the RNG/BRG mode.
Although the Map Page’s data window/softkeys provide you with important
data and system functions, you may prefer to have a full-screen map display.
To display cartography on the entire page, simply ‘turn off’ the other displays.
To turn the data window display on or off:
1. Press the
B
key.
To turn the softkey menu display on or off:
1. Press the
G
key.
