Position Page

The position page (Fig. 12) shows you where you are, what direction you’re

heading, and how fast you’re going— and it’s the page you’ll want to use when you
don’t have an active destination selected.

A graphic compass display at the top of the page shows your direction of travel,

while five data fields below display your track and speed, a trip odometer, and your
position and altitude. The ‘trip’ and ‘altitude’ fields are user-selectable, which means
you can change them to display other navigation information. We’ll cover more
about those fields in the reference section of this manual.
