Highway Page
When you are navigating, the Highway Page provides digital and
graphic steering guidance to the destination. The right side of the
page features user-selectable data fields showing useful navigation
information. The compass ribbon at the top of the page shows your
current heading, represented by the violet bar. The red vertical
bar represents the bearing to your course. To stay on course, steer
toward the red vertical indicator (or arrows) until it lines up with the
violet bar in the middle. The bottom of the screen provides visual
guidance to the waypoint on a graphic highway display. The line
down the center of the highway represents your desired track line.

1. Highlight the Display tab on the Main Menu.
2. Highlight the Highway Page field, and press ENTER.

Using the Highway Page
To stay on course, steer toward the violet bar (or arrows) until
it lines up with the red bar in the middle. The bottom section of
the screen provides visual guidance to the waypoint on a graphic
highway display. The line down the center of the highway represents
your desired track line.
As you head toward your destination, the highway perspective
moves to indicate your progress to the waypoint and which direction
you should steer to stay on course. If you are navigating a route, the
Highway Page shows each route waypoint in sequence connected
by a black “road” with a white line down the middle, which is your
desired track line. Nearby waypoints not in the active route can also
be shown. You can zoom in or out to show a larger or smaller view
of the highway.
To change the highway perspective scale:
Press IN to zoom in; press OUT to zoom out.
