Trip Computer
The Trip Computer Page provides a quick reference for the
important data you want to show in Automotive Mode. It indicates
your current speed and many helpful statistics about your trip, such
as bearing, average speed, and moving time.
You can reset the Trip Computer before beginning a trip. If you
make frequent stops, leave the GPSMAP 496 turned on to allow the
unit to accurately measure elapsed time during the trip.
