Garmin GPS III Pilot - Manual (Page 54)

Whenever a destination waypoint(s) has been selected, the GPS III Pilot’s
Highway Page will guide you to your destination with digital readouts and a high-
way display. Along the right side of the page (top, when display is vertical) are four
user-selectable data fields that display current speed, distance and time to next way-
point, and a bearing pointer (defaults). The bearing pointer always points to the des-
tination waypoint (or the next waypoint when using a route) relative to the direction
you are moving (track). If the bearing pointer points straight ahead, you are heading
directly to your destination. If the bearing pointer points any direction other than
up, turn toward the arrow until it points up—then continue in that direction.
The graphic heading compass at the top of the page indicates the direction you are
moving (track). Directly below the heading compass, the highway display provides
visual guidance to the destination waypoint and keeps you on your intended course
line. Your course is represented by the center line down the middle of the graphic
highway. As you head toward your destination, the highway perspective will move to
indicate your progress to the waypoint and which direction you should steer to stay on
course. If you are navigating a route, the highway display will show each route way-
point in sequence, with the route course indicated by a black highway. Nearby airports
not in the route will also be displayed. Five available scale settings allow you to zoom
in or out on the highway display for a smaller or larger view. The current scale setting,
ranging from 1X to 16X, appears on the lower right corner of the highway display.
To zoom in or out on the highway display:
1. Press the IN zoom key to decrease the scale and show a smaller view area.
2. Press the OUT zoom key to increase the scale and show a larger view area.
Your course is represented by
the highway center line. Keep
the center line in the middle
of the display to stay on
course.
When using a route, the
Highway Page will guide you
to each waypoint along the
route.
