Garmin GPS 40 - Manual (Page 43)

The GPS 40 Menu Page provides access to sub-
menu pages that are used to select and customize
operation and navigation setup. The 11 submenus
are divided into categories by function. The way-
point and route management submenus are dis-
cussed in their own respective sections. We’ll now
address the rest of the submenus in the order they
appear on the Menu Page. To select a submenu
page from the Menu Page:
1. Highlight the submenu page you want to view.
2. Press the E key to display the submenu page.
3. To return to the Menu Page, press the P key.
The distance and sun calculation page will give
you the distance and bearing between any two way-
points and calculate the sunrise and sunset (in local
time) at a destination waypoint for a particular date.
To perform a distance and sun calculation:
1. Highlight the ‘from’ field and enter the desired
waypoint. Press E to move to the next field.
2. Highlight the ‘to’ field and enter the destination
waypoint. Press the E key to calculate the
range and bearing to the destination waypoint.
3. Highlight the ‘date’ field and enter the date for
your destination. Press the E key to display
the sun information.
The messages page displays all current messages
in the GPS 40. There are two types of messages:
temporary alerts (eg. approaching a waypoint) and
condition alerts (eg. battery power is low). All mes-
sages are initially indicated by a flashing on-screen
indicator. After a temporary alert has been viewed,
it is cleared from the message page. Condition alerts
are displayed on the messages page until the condi-
tion has been resolved. To view the messages page:
1. Move the field highlight to the ‘messages’ field
and press P .
See appendix B for a complete list of messages. 37
