Garmin GPS 12XL Owner's Manual (Software Version 4.0 and above) - Page 35

Selecting a Navigation Page Once you've selected a GOTO destination or activated a TracBack, MOB, or route; the GPS 12XL will provide graphic steering guidance to the destination with one of two navigation pages: REFERENCE Navigation Pages Compass Page Highway Page •The Compass Page (default) provides a directional pointer indicating the bearing to your destination and a rotating compass ring which shows your direction of travel (track) at the top of the ring. The Compass Page provides better guidance for car travel, hiking, or biking; where straightline navigation is often not possible. •The Highway Page provides a graphic highway display that shows your movement relative to the desired course, with an emphasis on your cross track error ( the distance and direction you are off course). The cross track error (XTK) is depicted on a course deviation indicator (CDI) (see pg. 34). The Highway Page is well-suited for boating or some types of off-road recreation where straight line navigation is typically possible and maintaining a specified course is desirable. Both pages provide a digital display of the bearing and distance to the destination, and your current speed and track over the ground. You can switch to either Navigation Page at any time. To select either Navigation Page: 1. Press from the existing Navigation Page, and again to change the page. To switch the navigation page to the Compass Page, press ENTER twice. To switch the navigation page to the Highway Page, press ENTER twice. 31
