Garmin GPS 48 - Manual (Page 16)

Highway Page
The GPS 48’s Highway Page provides graphic steering
guidance to a destination waypoint, with emphasis on
the straight-line desired course, the distance and direc-
tion you are off course.
As you head toward your destination, the middle of
the screen provides visual guidance to your waypoint on
a moving graphic “highway.”
Your present position is represented by the diamond
in the center of the CDI scale. The line down the middle
of the highway represents your desired track. As you
navigate toward a waypoint, the highway will actually
move—indicating the direction you’re off course—rela-
tive to the position diamond on the CDI scale. To stay on
course, simply steer in toward the center of the highway.
To select the Compass Page
1. From the Highway Page, press
E
twice.
The Compass Page will now become the displayed
navigation page. This page provides a directional pointer
to your destination, by using a rotating compass display
to show direction of travel. It provides better steering
guidance at slower speeds with many directional
changes.
Cancelling a GOTO
If you decide to stop navigating to the active way-
point, all you have to do is cancel the GOTO.
To cancel an active GOTO:
1. Press the
G
key.
2. Use the arrow keypad to move the field highlight to the
‘CANCEL GOTO ’ prompt at the bottom of the page and
press
E
.

the cancel prompt at the
bottom of the page and
