Using the Position Page
Walk for 3-4 minutes and watch the Position Page.
The direction you are moving (track), your speed, trip
distance, and altitude are shown on the upper half of
the screen. The latitude and longitude of your position
are displayed in the middle of the page, with the time
of day shown below.

Map Page
The next page is the Map Page. To ensure we can
see our entire trip on the map, lets change the map
scale from 0.2 mi (default) to 1.2 mi.
1. Use the arrow keys to highlight the ‘ZOOM’ field
located directly to the right of the magnifying glass at
the top left of the Map Page and press
E .
2. Press the U or D arrow until ‘1.2 mi’ is shown
and press E .
The Map Page shows your present position as a
diamond icon in the center of the map. The house
symbol labeled ‘HOME’ is the waypoint you created
and the line connecting the two is your track log.
1. Now turn approximately 90º to your right and continue
walking for another 2-3 minutes. Notice how the dis-
play changes, always keeping the direction you are
moving at the top of the map (see right).
Going to a Waypoint
Once you’ve stored a waypoint in memory, you
may return to it by performing a GOTO. A GOTO is a
straight-line course from your present position to the
destination you’ve selected. Let’s navigate back to our
starting position, the HOME waypoint.
To select a GOTO destination:
1. Press G .
2.Highlight the ‘HOME’ waypoint, and press E .
You’ll notice that you’ll automatically return to the
Map Page, and a straight line will connect your current
position to the position of the destination waypoint.
