Garmin GPS 12MAP - Manual (Page 51)

41
The GPS 12 MAP’s Highway Page also
provides graphic steering guidance to your
destination, by using a graphic highway display.
At the top of the page are four user-selectable
data fields that display current speed, distance
and time to next waypoint, and a bearing
pointer (defaults). The bearing pointer always
points to the destination waypoint (or the next
waypoint when using a route) relative to the
direction you are moving (track). If the bearing
pointer points straight ahead, you are heading
directly to your destination. If the bearing
pointer points any direction other than up, turn
toward the arrow until it points up—then
continue in that direction. Each data field may
be configured to display any one of twenty-
three data options.
The graphic heading compass beneath the
data fields indicates the direction you are
moving (track). Directly below the heading
compass, the highway display provides visual
guidance to the destination waypoint and keeps
you on your intended course line. Your course
is represented by the center line down the
middle of the graphic highway. As you head
toward your destination, the highway perspec-
tive will move to indicate your progress to the
waypoint and which direction you should steer
to stay on course. When you are navigating a
route, the highway display will show each route
waypoint in sequence, with the route course
indicated by a black highway. Nearby waypoints
not in the route will also be displayed. You can
zoom in or out on the highway display for a
smaller or larger view. Five available settings
range from 1X to 16X, with a default setting of
8X.
To zoom in or out on the highway
display:
1. Press the IN zoom key to increase the zoom level
and show a smaller view area.
2. Press the OUT zoom key to decrease the zoom
level and show a larger view area.
