Garmin GPS II - Manual (Page 20)

Using the Position Page
Now that you’ve marked a position, it’s time to take a brisk walk using the posi-
tion and moving map pages to watch your every move. You should still be on the
position page.
To get the most from this tutorial, walk in a straight line for 3-4 minutes at a fast
pace and watch the position page. (Because the GPS system typically has a margin of
error of approximately 15 meters, you’ll need to walk this long to ensure that you
travel far enough to register useful information. You’ll also get a much better indica-
tion of how the GPS II’s steering guidance and mapping features work to guide you.)
You’ll see that the direction you are moving (track), your speed, and how far
you’ve gone displayed in the middle of the screen, just below the graphic compass
display. The latitude, longitude and approximate altitude of your position are dis-
played at the bottom of the page, with the time of day displayed below.
To continue the tour, let’s move on to the next page:

clock.
