Marking Your Location as a Waypoint

A waypoint is a geographic location that you specify. It can be

your current location, a point on the Map Page or any item from

the Find Feature database. Waypoints are saved to the Find Menu.

Finding a Destination (Waypoint)

You can search for a destination using the Find Menu. A destina-

tion can be any map item such as a Waypoint, City, or Point of

Interest (restaurant, museum, etc.) available from the map database.

Navigating to a Waypoint

When using “Go To” to navigate, a direct line (or course) is cre-

ated to the waypoint. The direction you are to move is the heading

(N, S, E, W). If you stray off course, you can use a bearing (com

-

pass pointer) to redirect you toward your destination. The Map,

Compass and Trip Computer Pages use these elements to direct

your navigation efforts.

1. Press the PAGE key repeatedly until the Compass Page is

displayed. This page contains a “Bearing Pointer” and a

“Compass Ring.”

The Bearing Pointer indicates the direction to go, and the

Compass Ring rotates to indicate North orientation when

you begin to move. Digital data fields at the top of the

page display selectable navigation information such as

speed, distance to go, elapsed time, etc.

2. Press the

QUIT key to view the Map Page and observe

your progress toward the waypoint. A Bearing line

displays

on the map, and the Position Arrow moves as you move.

3. Press the

QUIT key again to move to the Trip Computer

Page. This page displays travel data such as a trip odom

-

eter, maximum speed, etc.

To stop navigation, press the

MENU key with the Com-

pass or Map Page displayed; then select “Stop Naviga

-

tion” and press

ENTER.
