Navigation Page Show me the way! The Geko 301 includes an Electronic Compass that is similar to a magnetic compass. It points your heading while standing still. NOTE: The direction arrow, destination symbol, bearing information, Time To Go, Arrival Time and Final Distance only display when you have started a Goto or a TracBack. 10 Moving Direction Line Destination Symbol Hold Level Indicator Data field Waypoint (Destination) Name Straight Line Distance to the Destination Compass/GPS Heading Compass Ring Direction Arrow (follow this) The Navigation Page provides active guidance with a rotating compass ring that shows your course over ground (track) while you're moving and a bearing pointer to indicate the current direction to your destination (bearing) relative to the course over ground. The Compass Ring works as an electronic compass. When you are stationary, it works as a magnetic compass (which can be turned On or Off). When the Compass is on and you are moving, the heading is controlled by the GPS receiver. The Compass switches to the GPS receiver when your rate of travel reaches a user-defined speed, and comes back on when you have stopped moving after a user-defined period of time. Use the Heading Setup Page to change the user-defined speed and time. (See page 40) One Data Field is available at the bottom of the screen and you can use the UP and DOWN Buttons to scroll through the menu choices. A list of the fields can be found on page 13. The Bent (Bearing) Pointer arrow alerts you to the upcoming turn while you are navigating a route. When you get within 15 seconds of the current point, the pointer "bends" to indicate the direction of the turn to the next point.
