The Position Page shows you where you are, what direction you're heading, and how fast you're going-and it's the page you'll want to use when you don't have a destination selected. A graphic compass display at the top of the page shows your direction of travel (track) while you're moving, while six user-selectable data fields below display your current speed, average speed, trip odometer, trip timer, and sunrise/sunset times at your current position. "User-selectable" means you can change them to display other information. We'll cover these fields more in the reference section. Below the user-selectable data fields are additional data fields to display your current position, along with current time and date. The current position readout can be in latitude/longitude, UTM/UPS, Loran TD, MGRS, Maidenhead or one of several regional grids. Current time and date can be in local time or UTC (Coordinated Universal Time).

The Position Page shows you where you are, what direction you’re heading, and

destination selected.
A graphic compass display at the top of the page shows your direction of travel

current speed, average speed, trip odometer, trip timer, and sunrise/sunset times at
your current position. “User-selectable” means you can change them to display other

Below the user-selectable data fields are additional data fields to display your

be in latitude/longitude, UTM/UPS, Loran TD, MGRS, Maidenhead or one of several
regional grids. Current time and date can be in local time or UTC (Coordinated
Universal Time).
