Garmin GPSMAP 185 Sounder - Manual (Page 46)

Map Page
The GPSMAP 185 Sounder’s map page provides a comprehensive display of
electronic cartography, plotting and navigational data. The map display shows
your boat on a digital chart, complete with geographic names, navaids, depth con-
tours and a host of other chart features. It also plots your track and displays any
routes and waypoints you create. An on-screen cursor lets you pan and scroll to
other map areas, determine the distance and bearing to a position, and perform
various route and waypoint functions.
The data window, located at the top of the page, provides a user-selectable dis-
play of your current course and speed over ground, along with the bearing and
distance to a destination waypoint. Whenever the cursor is active, an additional
data window will appear below to indicate the position, range and bearing to the
cursor or a selected waypoint or navaid. Each data field may be configured to dis-
play any one of thirteen data options. The data window may also be changed to
display additional data fields, a compass tape, or a CDI scale. The status bar at the
bottom of the page displays the map scale currently in use.
