Waypoints List Navigating to a Waypoint When using "Go To" to navigate, you are directed to follow a direct line (or course) to the waypoint. The direction you are to move is the heading (eg. N, S, E, W). If you stray off course you can use a bearing (compass pointer) to be redirected toward your destination. The Map, Compass and Trip Computer Pages use these elements to direct your navigation efforts. 1. Press the PAGE key repeatedly until the Compass Page is displayed. This page contains a "Bearing Pointer" and a "Compass Ring". The Bearing Pointer indicates the direction to go and the Compass Ring rotates to indicate North orientation when you begin to move. Digital Data fields at the top of the page display selectable navigation information such as speed, distance to go, elapsed time, etc. 2. Press the QUIT key to move to the Map Page and observe your progress toward the waypoint. A Bearing line displays on the map and the Position Arrow moves as you move. 3. Press the QUIT key again to move to the Trip Computer Page. This page provides travel data such as a trip odometer, maximum speed, etc. 4. To stop navigation, press the MENU key with the Compass or Map Page displayed, then select "Stop Navigation" and press ENTER.
