MAP PAGE
Overview
The GPSMAP 175’s map page provides a comprehensive display of
electronic cartography, plotting and navigational data. The map display
shows your boat on a digital chart, complete with geographic names, navaids,
depth contours and a host of other chart features. It also plots your track and
displays any routes and waypoints you create. An on-screen cursor lets you
pan and scroll to other map areas, determine the distance and bearing to a
position, and perform various route and waypoint functions.
The data window, located at the top of the page, provides a user-
selectable display of your current course and speed over ground, along with
the bearing and distance to a destination waypoint. Whenever the cursor is
active, a pop-up window will appear below the data window to indicate the
position, range and bearing to the cursor or a selected waypoint or navaid.
Each data field may be configured to display any one of ten data options. The
data window may also be changed to display additional data fields, a graphic
compass tape, or a CDI scale. The status bar at the bottom of the page
displays the map scale currently in use.
