section 2 Map Page
The Map Page shows your movement and sur-
rounding detail (lakes, rivers, highways and towns).
Your present position is identified by a pointer icon in
the center of the map. You can use the
Zoom/Volume
keys to adjust the map scale (800 feet to 500 miles).
To change the map scale:
1. Press the IN Zoom key (down arrow) to select a smaller
scale and more detail for a smaller area.
2. Press the OUT Zoom key (up arrow) to select a larger scale
and display a larger area.
Nearby waypoints are depicted on the map with any
one of over 40 different symbols, with the waypoint
name shown directly above the symbol. We’ll cover
more about the NavTalk’s waypoint features and the
Map Page in the reference section, including how to
change the map orientation if you desire.
Compass Page
The NavTalk features two different navigation pages,
the Compass Page and the Highway Page. Let’s discuss
the basics of the Compass Page first.
The Compass Page provides graphic steering guid-
ance to a destination waypoint, with an emphasis on
the bearing to your destination and current direction of
travel. (The Highway Page places greater emphasis on
the straight-line desired course and the distance and
direction you are off course.)
A rotating ‘compass ring’ shows your course over
ground while you’re moving (your track) and a bearing
pointer that indicates the direction of the destination
waypoint relative to the course over ground (the bearing).
The compass ring and pointer arrow work indepen-
dently to show—at a glance—the direction of your
movement and the direction to your destination. For
instance, if the arrow points up, you are going directly
to the waypoint. If the arrow points in any other direc-
tion, turn toward the arrow until it points up—then
continue moving in that direction.
An options menu allows you to select ‘Big Numbers’
to change field character size while diminishing the
compass size and ‘Change Fields’ to custom arrange dis-
played data fields.
