Garmin GPS 12XL - Manual (Page 35)

Selecting a Navigation Page
Once you’ve selected a GOTO destination or acti-
vated a TracBack, MOB, or route; the GPS 12XL will
provide graphic steering guidance to the destination
with one of two navigation pages:
•The Compass Page (default) provides a direc-
tional pointer indicating the bearing to your desti-
nation and a rotating compass ring which shows
your direction of travel (track) at the top of the
ring. The Compass Page provides better guidance
for car travel, hiking, or biking; where straight-
line navigation is often not possible.
•The Highway Page provides a graphic highway
display that shows your movement relative to the
desired course, with an emphasis on your cross
track error ( the distance and direction you are off
course). The cross track error (XTK) is depicted
on a course deviation indicator (CDI) (see pg. 34).
The Highway Page is well-suited for boating or
some types of off-road recreation where straight
line navigation is typically possible and maintain-
ing a specified course is desirable.
Both pages provide a digital display of the bearing
and distance to the destination, and your current speed
and track over the ground. You can switch to either
Navigation Page at any time.
To select either Navigation Page:
1. Press from the existing Navigation Page, and
again to change the page.
