Garmin NavTalk - Manual (Page 84)

6.5 Highway Page
In addition to the Compass Page, the NavTalk’s
Highway Page also provides graphic steering guidance
to your destination, by using a graphic highway display.
At the top of the Highway Page are four user-selec-
table data fields that display current speed, distance and
time to next waypoint, and an arrow pointer (these are
the default data fields, each data field may be config-
ured to display any one of twenty-three data option.)
The arrow pointer will always point to the destina-
tion waypoint (or the next waypoint if you are using a
route to navigate) relative to the direction you are mov-
ing (your track). If the bearing pointer points straight
ahead, you are heading directly towards your destina-
tion. If the bearing pointer points in any other direc-
tion, as you travel, turn toward the arrow until it points
up—then continue moving in that direction.
The graphic heading compass at the top of the page
indicates the direction you are moving (your track). The
highway display which is located directly below the
heading compass, provides visual guidance to the desti-
nation waypoint and keeps you on your intended
course line.
Your course is represented by a center line down the
middle of the graphic highway. As you head toward
your destination, the highway perspective will move to
indicate your progress to the waypoint and which direc-
tion you should steer to stay on course.
If you are navigating a route, the highway display
will show each route waypoint in sequence, with the
active leg indicated by the black portion of the highway.
Nearby waypoints not in the route will also be dis-
played. You can zoom in or out on the highway display
for a smaller or larger view (1/4 to 4 miles, with a
default setting of 1 mile.)
In addition to the default settings just discussed,
options are available through the options menu allow-
ing you to customize the highway page display:
