Garmin GPS III Pilot - Manual (Page 79)

Many features of the GPS III Pilot are menu driven. Each of the main pages has an
options menu, allowing you to custom tailor the corresponding page to your prefer-
ences and/or select special features which specifically relate to that page.
To display the Active Route Page Options, press MENU (with the Active
Route Page displayed).
The following options are available:
Setup Plan— displays a trip planning screen, allowing you to plan and review
distance, fuel and time en route information for the selected route.
To use the trip planning features:
1. Highlight ‘Setup Plan’ and press ENTER. A setup screen is provided for planned speed,
fuel flow and departure time.
2. To enter a speed for your trip, highlight the speed field, press ENTER and use the
rocker keypad to select the desired speed. Press ENTER to confirm.
3. Enter an hourly fuel flow (if desired) in the fuel field, using the same steps above.
4. Enter the date and time of departure (the current date/time will be offered automatical-
ly), using the same steps above.
5. Press QUIT to return to the Active Route Page, and use the LEFT/RIGHT portion of the
rocker keypad to select the planning figures (to the immediate right of each listed route
waypoint’s identifier).
Re-evaluate— reactivates the current route and selects the route leg closest to
your current position as the active leg. The active leg defines the current ‘from’
and ‘to’ waypoints.
Deactivate— cancels navigation of the route you are currently using.
‘Setup Plan’ allows you to
define planned speed, fuel
flow and departure time in
order to review trip planning
figures.
‘Re-evaluate’ will reactivate
the current route and select
the closest leg. This feature is
handy if you stray well off
course and later wish to
return to the route.
