GPS Receiver

Reference

From the Active Route Page you can change the

name of the active route, review information on a route
waypoint or bypass route waypoints and GOTO any
waypoint in the route (see page 82) .

The user-selectable data field on the right side of the

page also keeps you informed of current conditions.
There are ten different data items available. Use the

LEFT/RIGHT ARROW keys for data type descriptions.

The following options are available:
Show Map - allows you to view the area around

the active route. When selected, ‘Show Map’ will show
the map display centered around the first waypoint in
the active route.

Setup Plan - displays a trip planning screen, allow-

ing you to plan and review distance, fuel, time en route
and sunrise/sunset information for the selected route.

To use the trip planning features:

1. Highlight ‘Setup Plan’ and press ENTER. The trip planning

screen is displayed, showing speed, fuel flow, departure

time and departure date information.

2. Enter an hourly fuel flow (if desired) in the fuel field, using

the same steps above. Fuel flow rate units (gallons, liters,

etc.) are not specified on the NavTalk. Enter these figures

based upon available information for your vehicle and make

note of the desired units.

3. Press QUIT to return to the Route Plan Page, then use the

LEFT/RIGHT keys on the ARROW Rocker Pad to review

the planning information.

Re-evaluate - reactivates the current route and

selects the route leg closest to your current position as
the active leg. The active leg defines the current ‘from’
and ‘to’ waypoints.

Deactivate - cancels navigation of the route you are

currently using.

Invert - reactivates the current route in reverse

order and navigates from the end waypoint back to the
beginning waypoint. See page 84.

Insert Wpt - allows you to insert an additional

waypoint into the route, directly in front of the current-
ly highlighted waypoint in the route. If no route way-
point is highlighted, this option is not available.

See page 84 for route editing info.
