Metric . Custom allows you to select metric or
statue for a variety of units, such as distance,
speed, and temperature.

Touch Settings > General > Safe Mode .

you cannot search for a location while the
vehicle is moving.
Coordinates
Touch Settings > General > Coordinates .
Position Format—change the appearance of

different maps and charts use different position
formats, the Navigator III allows you to choose
the correct coordinate system for the type of
map you are using.
Map Datum—select the map datum to be used
by your Navigator III. If you are navigating and
comparing the GPS coordinates to a map, chart,
or other reference, set the map datum in your
Navigator III to the same datum as the map to
ensure the most accurate navigation.
