GPSMAP 185 Sounder Navigation Page

Whenever a GOTO, MOB, TracBack or route has been activated, the GPSMAP

185 Sounder will provide digital and graphic steering guidance to the destination

with the navigation page. The top half of the nav page features four user-selectable

data fields that display the bearing (BRG) and distance (DIS) to waypoint, along

with your current course (COG) and speed over ground (SOG). In addition, there

is a moving compass tape to indicate the direction you’re heading. Two additional

data fields at the bottom of the page show the estimated time enroute (ETE) and

velocity made good (VMG) to your destination.

The middle 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, while a graphic indication of the distance and direction you are off

course is shown on a scale at the bottom right of the page (the selected scale repre-

sents the distance from side to side). The arrow pointer below the highway always

points to the destination waypoint relative to the direction you are moving.

The navigation page can be configured to show

the active waypoint, all route waypoints and/or

nearby waypoints on the graphic highway.
