Position Screen

The Position screens 1 and 2 simply display your present position using the
coordinate systems that you have selected in Setup.  The Position 1 screen shows
all of the basic position, time and satellite information, all on one screen.  In
addition, current navigation information is shown on the bottom half of the
screen.

Selecting the Position Screen  — 

Allows you to toggle between the two

Position screens.  This allows the same position to be displayed in
different coordinate systems.  This is useful when comparing navigation
data between devices and charts that use different coordinate systems.

The screen viewed can be changed by pressing the Left or Right arrows
while viewing the Position screen.

You can change the coordinate system displayed by following the
instructions in 

Setup - Selecting the Coordinate System.

Resetting the Trip Odometer — 

Resets the trip odometer to 0000.00.
