Quick Start
Before we start walking, lets clear the Track Log. The Track Log is the bread crumb trail
left on the Map and Highway Pages.
To clear the Track Log:
1 Press the MENU key twice to display the Main Menu.
2. Highlight Tracks then press the ENTER key.
3. Highlight the ‘Clear’ Button then press the ENTER key.
4. Highlight the ‘Yes’ Button then press the ENTER key.
5. Press the PAGE key until the Map Page is displayed.
Begin walking, hold the GPS 72 in front of you with the top of the unit pointed toward
the sky. As you move you will begin to see a bread crumb trail on the map. Walk for at least
two minutes in one direction and then make either a right or left turn. Continue walking in
this new direction for approximately another two minutes.
Let’s start the trip back. The GPS 72 provides you with direct, straight line navigation. It
is not always possible to navigate using the most direct route, don’t worry, the GPS 72 will
continuously update your Track and Bearing, always pointing out the shortest route to your
destination.
To begin navigation:
1. Press the GOTO key.
2. With ‘Waypoint’ highlighted, press the ENTER key.
3. Highlight ‘HOME’ then press the ENTER key.
The GPS provides a straight line, direct navigation course
to your destination. Since it is not always possible to follow
a straight line from start to fi nish, as you move, the Pointer
will always point toward your destination and the Compass
Ring will always show your current track.
