Garmin GPS 120XL - Manual (Page 13)

Map Page
The Map Page acts as a window. It allows you to
view your position, the “path” you have traveled over,
and nearby waypoints.
A diamond icon in the center of the screen repre-
sents your current position. As you move, you will see
a thin line-- called a track log-- appear along the path
you have just covered. Names of stored waypoints can
also be shown on the map.
The bottom corners of the screen will always dis-
play your current track and speed. When going to a
waypoint, highlighting an on-screen waypoint, or using
the panning target crosshair, the corresponding dis-
tance and bearing are shown at the top corners of the
screen.
Navigation Page
A navigation page gives you steering guidance
when going to a waypoint. The GPS 120XL has two
navigation page choices: the Highway Page and the
Compass Page. The Highway Page is the default and
will be briefly explained here. The Compass Page is
covered on pages 35 and 37.
The Highway Page uses a graphic highway to
show your movement in relation to your desired
course. The upper section shows bearing and distance
to the waypoint and your current track and speed. The
middle portion contains the actual highway. The high-
way indicates the crosstrack error, or distance and
direction, your are off-course from your waypoint.
Always turn in the direction the highway is pointing.
For example, if the highway points straight up, no turn
is required. If the highway points right, you need to
turn right until the highway points straight up. The
remainder of the page contains the estimated time
enroute (ETE) and your velocity made good (VMG).
Menu Page
The last primary page is the Menu Page. The
Menu Page gives you access to the GPS 120XL’s way-
point management, route, track log, and setup features
through a list of submenus.
