Data Fields/

Main Menu Page

Data fi elds on the main pages (except the Active Route Page) may also be confi gured to display any

of 28 different information categories (see pages 22-23 for the complete list). On the Numbers Page,
change the ‘POINTER’ fi eld to ‘POSITION’.

To change a data fi eld:

1. Press the MENU key to display the Numbers Page options.

2. Use the ARROW KEYPAD to highlight ‘Change Data Fields’ and press ENTER/MARK.

3. Once the menu window disappears, use the ARROW KEYPAD and highlight ‘POINTER’, then press

ENTER/MARK.

4. On the alphabetical list of options, press the ARROW KEYPAD UP or DOWN until you highlight

‘POSITION’ and press ENTER/MARK (you may also press LEFT or RIGHT on the

ARROW KEYPAD to

scroll the list a page at a time). You will see a scroll bar on the right side of the window indicating your
current position on the entire list of options.

5. Press QUIT when done.

As you’ve seen, the primary pages provide map and navigation information. The tour’s last page

is the Main Menu page, which allows access to the GPS 152’s waypoint, route and planning functions,
various operational and navigation setup features, and celestial and tidal data.

The Main Menu is available from any page, and is accessed through the MENU key.

To access the Main Menu page:

1. Press the MENU key twice.

The Main Menu page lists 14 menu ‘tabs’ that are divided into categories by function. You can

view a particular menu by simply highlighting the desired tab, which will then show any secondary
submenu tabs and options for that tab.

To get a feel for how the Main Menu page works, clear out the track log you created during

the simulated tour. This will ensure that you have a clean slate once you start navigating in your
home waters.

You may choose from 28 different types of data.
