Garmin GPS 92 - Manual (Page 47)

Map Page
The map page plots your course and route on a mov-
ing map. It also provides you with a cursor that will let
you pan ahead and review nearby waypoints, determine
the distance and bearing to map position and mark new
waypoints. The map page can be broken down into three
sections:
The zoom, panning control and map option
fields are all located at the top of the screen. There are 18
selectable zoom ranges from 0.2 to 500 miles (or 0.3 to
800 km), measured vertically. The pan field provides
access to the map cursor, while the option field allows
you to specify what items are displayed and when they
appear. Track log and TracBack features are also accessed
from the option field (see page 44).
The map portion of the page shows your movement
over ground. Your present position is indicated by a plane
icon (in track up mode), or a position diamond (in other
modes), with your track and/or route displayed as a solid
line. Nearby waypoints are represented using various
icons, with the waypoint name also listed at lower scale
settings. Through the map option page, you may select
which features are displayed (see page 45-46).
The data fields located at the four corners of the
map, show the bearing and distance to a destination
waypoint and your current track and speed over ground.
The two fields at the top corners of the map show your
bearing and distance to one of three selectable destina-
tions: an active destination waypoint, a highlighted on-
screen waypoint, or the target crosshair. If you are not
navigating to a waypoint or using the panning function,
the top data fields will not be displayed.

The GPS 92 has on-screen
range rings to help you esti-
mate distances relative to
your present position. The
value of each ring is deter-
mined by the current zoom
scale. Range rings may be

map option menu.
