Position Data Page
The Position Data Page provides a quick reference for the important
data you want to show while navigating a route in Aviation and
Marine Modes. The default page shows a compass ribbon, your
current latitude and longitude, the current date and time, the location
you are in reference to the nearest landmark, and eight user-
selectable data fields. The compass ribbon is shown at the top of the
page to show your current heading with a red, vertical bar. To stay
on course, steer toward the violet bar (or arrows) until it is aligned
with the red bar.
Press PAGE repeatedly to open the Position Data Page.
