Garmin GPS 150XL - Manual (Page 13)

After the GPS 150XL acquires satellites and computes a position, the position page
will appear automatically, and you’ll be informed with ‘Ready for navigation’ on the
message page.
The position page displays your present latitude and longitude, altitude and a refer-
ence waypoint field. The altitude and reference waypoint fields are also selectable (see
Section 1 for more information) to allow you to configure the unit to your own prefer-
ences. The default settings are:
• Altitude— Your present GPS altitude
• Present Position— Latitude and longitude displayed in degrees/minutes
• Reference Waypoint— The bearing and distance to the nearest airport
The position page is one of seven pages available under the GPS 150XL’s N key:
• NAV summary page • Map page
• NAVCOM page • Position page
• Satellite status page • NAV menu 1
• NAV menu 2
During most flights, the position, NAV summary, map and NAVCOM pages will be the
primary pages used for navigation. The pages are accessible by pressing the N key and
rotating the outer knob, or by pressing the N key repeatedly.

The map page combines a moving map display
and navigation data for complete situational
awareness.
