Garmin GPS II - Manual (Page 66)

Moving Map Page
The GPS II features a powerful real-time moving map (Fig. 60) that can do much
more than just plot your course and route. The map page also provides you with a
target cursor that will let you pan ahead to nearby waypoints, determine the distance
and bearing to any map position, and mark new waypoints while you navigate. The
GPS II also features dedicated zoom keys for instant zooming. The map portion of
the page displays your present position as a diamond icon, with your track and/or
route displayed as small points. Nearby waypoints are represented as squares, with
the waypoint name listed. You may select which features are shown through the map
setup submenu page (see pages 65-66).
The four corners of the map page are used to display various navigation data,
including the bearing and distance to a destination waypoint and your current track
and speed over the ground. The two fields at the top corners of the map show your
bearing and distance to one of three selectable destinations: an active destination
waypoint; a highlighted on-screen waypoint; or the panning target crosshair. If you
are not navigating to a waypoint or using the panning function, the top data fields
will not be displayed. Your current track and speed are shown at the bottom corners
of the display.
