Customize Page Displays
Every Page display option except Full Map (on the Map Page) has cus-
tomizable data boxes to provide constant on-screen information.
The various data available from your unit are divided into categories in
the Data Viewer menu. These categories include GPS Data, Navigation,
Trip Calculator, Time, and Miscellaneous Data. You can select items
from any of these categories for display in any data box — the category
divisions are only there to help you sort through the information.
