Locations
To view the nearest loca-
tions page, select ‘Near-
est’ from the Main Menu.
The nearest locations
pages are organized as
a series of “file tabs”.
Select the appropriate
tab to show as many as
nine nearby waypoints,
50 nearest cites, or 50
nearest highway exits:
along with the bearing
and distance to each.
Another waypoint feature of the GPS 12 MAP
is the nearest locations pages, which show up to
nine nearest waypoints and 50 nearest cities—
within 200 miles of your present position—
along with 50 exits on the nearest (interstate)
highway. The nearest locations pages are
organized by a series of ‘file tabs’ (denoting
categories for Waypoints, Cities and Exits) and
display the bearing (BRG) and distance (DST) to
each nearby location for the selected tab
(category). The lists are continuously updated
as you’re moving and provide quick access to
the closest points of safety in an emergency.
To view the nearest locations pages:
1. Press the MENU key twice to display the Main
Menu.
2. Highlight ‘Nearest’ and press ENTER.
3. Highlight the appropriate tab (Waypoints, Cities or
Exits) for the desired nearest list.
4. Scroll through the list using the UP/DOWN portion
of the rocker keypad.
To view additional information for a
nearby location:
1. Scroll through the selected nearest list (as
described above) and highlight the desired
location (Waypoint, City or Exit).
2. Press ENTER to display an info page for the
selected location.
3. For waypoints, the information is displayed on the
Waypoint Edit Page. You can edit the waypoint’s
location, name, symbol, etc. from this page, as
outlined on pages 47.
4. For cities, the information includes state, country,
size or reference, and position. You can show the
map area for the city, save it as a waypoint or
switch between size and reference information as
described on pages 65-66.
5. For exits, all the exit services pages and related
options menus (described on pages 33-34) are
available.
