Moving Map Page

The GPS II’s next page, the moving map page, shows your movement as a real-

time track log (electronic breadcrumb trail), and your present position as a diamond
icon in the center of the map. You’ll notice the black square below the diamond,
which represents the position you just created (‘HOME’), and the line between the
two, which shows your track (Fig. 15a).

Nearby waypoints are represented as squares, with the waypoint name listed

above the square. When you want to change the map scale, simply use the zoom
keys (“in” and “out”) to select the desired scale. We’ll cover more about other infor-
mation you can obtain from this field in the reference section.

1. Now turn 90º to your right and continue walking at a fast pace for another 2-3 minutes.

Notice how the display changes, always keeping the direction you are moving at the
top of the map. (Fig. 15b)
