Road Screen
The Road screen presents your route as if you were travel-
ling on a road. When you need to make a turn, the road will
graphically display the turn and the direction. Waypoint and
destination icons will be displayed relative to your position
as they come into view. Above the road is a compass that dis-
plays your heading and above that are four customizable
data fields.
The Road screen contains the following information, from
top to bottom:
- In the title bar: destination name if you are using the
Goto function
- Data Fields: customizable data fields (see
Customize
option below). Some of the data displayed requires you
to be moving to be computed. Invalid data is indicated by
dashes.
- Compass: Displays your heading in a familiar compass
format.
- Road: This graphically displays the route (Goto) that is
active. As you move left or right of your intended track,
the road will move on the display indicating which way
you need to steer to get back on track. Ideally, the road
would be centered on the display. Also, you will see
upcoming turns in advance allowing you to make neces-
sary preparations.
- Scale indicator: Use Zoom In/Out to change the scale.
To customize the Road screen, use the function described be-
low. This context-sensitive function is prompted when you
press the MENU button while the Road screen is displayed.
