Garmin GPS 12MAP - Manual (Page 17)

7
The Position Page shows you where you are,
what direction you’re heading, and how fast
you’re going—and it’s the page you’ll want to
use when you don’t have a destination selected.
A graphic compass display at the top of the
page shows your direction of travel (track)
while you’re moving, while six user-selectable
data fields below display your current speed,
average speed, trip odometer, trip timer, and
sunrise/sunset times at your current position.
“User-selectable” means you can change them to
display other information. We’ll cover these
fields more in the reference section.
Below the user-selectable data fields are
additional data fields to display your current
position, along with current time and date. The
current position readout can be in latitude/
longitude, UTM/UPS, Maidenhead or one of
several regional grids. Current time and date
can be in local time or UTC (Coordinated
Universal Time).
