Garmin GPS 48 Owner's Manual - Page 15

Using the Position Page Walk at a brisk pace for 3-4 minutes and watch the Position Page. The direction you are moving (track), your speed, trip distance, and altitude are shown on the upper half of the screen. The latitude and longitude of your position are displayed in the middle of the page, with the time of day shown below. Let's continue by moving to the next page: 1. Press P. Map Page The next page is the Map Page. To ensure we can see our entire trip on the map, lets change the map scale from .2nm (default) to 1.2nm. 1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the 'ZM' field at the top left of the Map Page and press E. 2. Press the U arrow until '1nm' is shown and press E. The Map Page shows your present position as a diamond icon in the center of the map. The house symbol labeled 'HOME' is the waypoint you created and the line connecting the two is your track log. 1. Now turn approximately 90º to your right and continue walking for another 2-3 minutes. Notice how the display changes, always keeping the direction you are moving at the top of the map . Going to a Waypoint Once you've stored a waypoint in memory, you may return to it by performing a GOTO. A GOTO is a straight-line course from your present position to the destination you've selected. Let's navigate back to our starting position, the HOME waypoint. To select a GOTO destination: 1. Press G. 2. Highlight the 'HOME' waypoint, and press E. You'll notice that you'll automatically return to the Map Page, and a straight line will connect your current position to the position of the GOTO waypoint. Let's continue by moving to the next page: 1. Press P. GETTING STARTED Map Page & Going to a Waypoint The Map Page displays your present position as a diamond icon and provides a real time graphic "breadcrumb" display of your track right on the screen. The GOTO waypoint page allows you to select a destination from a list of all available waypoints in the GPS 48's memory. 11
