Garmin GPSMAP 175 - Manual (Page 25)

1
As you’ve seen, the GPSMAP 175’s main pages provide vital status,
position, navigation and map information. The last page we’ll cover in the tour
is the main menu page, which provides access to the GPSMAP 175’s
waypoint, route and planning functions, as well as various operational and
navigation setup features. The main menu is available from any page, and is
accessed through the O key.
To access the main menu page:
1. Press the O key twice.
The main menu page’s 11 submenus are divided into categories by
function. You can select a particular submenu by simply highlighting the
desired option and pressing T. To get a feel for how the main menu page
works, let’s clear out the track log we’ve created during our simulated tour.
This will ensure that you have a clean slate once you start navigating in your
home waters.
To select the track submenu:
1. Highlight the ‘Track’ menu option and press T.
The track log page allows you to specify whether to record a track plot and
define how it is recorded. It also provides both an indicator of the total
memory used and the individual functions to clear the track log and start a
TracBack route.
To delete the track log:
1. Highlight the ‘Delete Track’ option and press T. A confirmation prompt will
appear.
2. Highlight the ‘Yes’ prompt and press T to confirm.
3. Press J to return to the main page sequence.
Congratulations! You’ve now gone through the basic operation of the
GARMIN GPSMAP 175. Your new digital chartplotter is a powerful tool with
many advanced features not covered in the Getting Started tour. For detailed
instructions on using these features or performing a specific task, please refer
to the quick reference guide or the appropriate reference section of this manual.
